As we draw closer to the kick off of Technology in Practice 2016, i's are being dotted and t's are being crossed, which in our world means finishing touches are being added to the program and even a few speakers are being added to our speaker roster.

We are honoured to announce Dr. Ann Cavoukian will be joining us at Technology in Practice 2016.

Dr. Ann Cavoukian is recognized as one of the world’s leading privacy experts.

She is presently the Executive Director of the Privacy and Big Data Institute at Ryerson University. Appointed as the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada in 1997, Dr. Cavoukian served an unprecedented three terms as Commissioner. In that time, she elevated the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner from a novice regulatory body to a first-class agency, known around the world for its cutting edge innovation and leadership. There she created Privacy by Design (PbD), a framework that seeks to proactively embed privacy into the design specifications of information technologies, networked infrastructure and business practices, thereby achieving the strongest protection possible. In October 2010, regulators at the International Conference of Data Protection Authorities and Privacy Commissioners unanimously passed a Resolution recognizing Privacy by Design as an essential component of fundamental privacy protection. This was followed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s inclusion of Privacy by Design as one of three recommended practices for protecting online privacy – a major validation of its significance. Since then, PbD has been translated into 38 languages, giving it a true global presence.

Dr. Cavoukian will be joining us during the panel, Breaking Ground: Cross-Border Litigation and Investigations, on Thursday, November 3.

Don't miss out on hearing from Dr. Cavoukian and other "Champions of eDiscovery" at Technology in Practice 2016. Registration closes Mon, Oct 31. Register today.
