The Washington, D.C. event centers on risks and trends in the U.S. and Europe and will help attendees navigate the new compliance landscape.  Speakers will highlight the significant data protection changes in the EU, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and the latest privacy and cybersecurity developments here in the United States such as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act.  Event speakers include:
