We’re getting ready for our full-day event on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019: seats are filling up fast for both the workshop and discussion. We’re kicking off the conference — coming up this week in Delhi on January 9 (Thursday) — with a workshop that will have experts and lawyers break down the legislation for start-ups and industry folks, and make them understand its impact on their operations by adopting a case-study approach. If you work at a start-up, apply to attend the workshop here: bit.ly/2020pdpworkshops
Both the workshop and discussion will be held under Chatham House Rule (content may be reported on but speakers may not be attributed).
