We will provide practical guidance on the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) requirements, which will carry the most severe potential penalties we have ever seen in the data privacy area.  Certain penalties could potentially be the greater of €20M or 4% of annual worldwide revenues.  Although GDPR does not kick in until 2018, early compliance preparations are essential due to the scope and nature of the requirements.

We cordially invite you to attend.  Space is limited, so if you would like to attend please RSVP to [email protected] as soon as possible.  There is of course no charge for attendance.

We intend to apply for CLE credits in CA (NY CLE generally is available via reciprocity).

If you have any questions, please contact Sayoko Blodgett-Ford at GTC (425-681-3795 – [email protected])

We look forward to hearing from you!   — GTC Data Privacy & Security Group
