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

2006-2007 brings invaluable web-based 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, HR Privacy issues, 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 attendees to the people who are shaking up the world of privacy. Basic Members are entitled to unlimited discounted admissions to all Tele/Web Sessions at a special Member Rate (an average of $75 savings per attendee).

What to Expect in 2006-2007

P&AB will focus on identifying new privacy-related legislative and regulatory initiatives and how these will affect business interests. Our reports, publications, and Tele/Web Sessions, available to P&AB Basic Members, will examine topics useful to a wide range of professional and students who demand the most cutting edge information on emerging business and consumer privacy issues.

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.
