Participate in P&AB’s Landmark Tele/Web Conferences

2006-2007 promises more of these invaluable meetings, offering up to the minute information from the leaders who are calling the shots. The FACT Act, Data Breaches, Personalized and Electronic Medical Records, RFID and Privacy – just to name a few – are all topics for the 2006-2007 Tele/Web Conference schedule. Moderated by P&AB and other privacy leaders, these meetings will connect PLG members to the people who are shaking up the world of privacy. PLG members are entitled to two free admissions to all Tele/Web Sessions held during their membership.

Forecasting The New Challenges for 2006-2007

P&AB’s 2006-2007 PLG program will focus on identifying new privacy-related legislative and regulatory initiatives and how these will affect business interests. The reports, publications, and Tele/Web Sessions available to P&AB PLG members will examine topics privacy leaders should consider so they may support the right balance between legitimate consumer and employee privacy interests and effective consumer and employee relations.
Some of the new challenges P&AB will specifically address are:

• Revisions to the HIPAA Privacy Rules now in the works after more than a year of operation, including rule-reform and clarification of HHS interpretations of rules that are having unnecessary adverse effects on consumer and healthcare operations
• Ongoing changes in privacy standards and procedures for corporate compliance with Homeland Security
• Concerns regarding demands by business for the supplying of consumer-personal-information and similar rules and procedures for widening employee background investigations
• Developments resulting from the FACT Act and its various components
• The creation of global data protection requirements and the enactment of comprehensive data protection laws affecting U.S. multinationals in both their consumer and employee data handling and cross-border transfers
• Development of new EU activities
• The shift to an opt-in world of consumer marketing
• Global outsourcing.

PLG Program Mission in 2006-2007

The 2006-2007 PLG Program looks at specific privacy developments as they evolve, follows trend lines, and takes up the key operational issues — problems, processes and solutions. To create each component of its PLG Program, P&AB employs skillful research from P&AB experts, draws on the expertise of business leaders, and engages those in the privacy community who are addressing core issues in instructive ways.

Based on addressing the above issues and opportunities — and others that we at P&AB anticipate — the benefits chart page shows the meetings, publications, and programs that the PLG Program will deliver in 2006-2007.

Due to the constantly changing landscape of the business privacy world, we think that membership in the PLG is even more critical for privacy professionals now than in the past. We would welcome your membership, and look forward to talking with you.
