Have a drink on Data Privacy Day at your nearest IAPP event

As part of Data Privacy Day on Wednesday, January 28th, the IAPP will be hosting casual “Privacy After Hours” social meetings at cities in Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Slovakia, UK and USA, to discuss an issue that’s on a lot of people’s minds these days — privacy.

Whether as part of business or personal life, information privacy and security is now an aspect of day-to-day life. So if you have any concerns or interests in privacy matters, then please feel welcome to come along for discussion, or simply to relax and get to know other people with practical or personal involvements in privacy issues.

These Privacy After Hours events are being organised by members of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and typically there is no formal structure, just an evening with some new friends.

I will be hosting my second Reading based PAH event at the Pitcher & Piano for anyone who can join us. For those commuting by train past Reading or who are a short hop away along the line, why not make a stopover on your way home? Or even pop across from London, Swindon, etc. Just walk from Reading station along Station Road and the Pitcher & Piano is within 100 meters on the left. Arrive any time from 5:30 pm onwards.

As per last time, this Reading event will have hot snacks and chips provided throughout the evening to give a warm welcome and to provide encouragement for you to come along and join us.

Last time we discussed:

Please RSVP now to register for the Reading or other locations around the world. Though you are welcome to drop by anyway, registering will help us judge how many to expect.
