IJE / IBJ for a Deep Dive on the GDPR - 1 Year Later

Event | 05.24.19, 9:00 AM UTC - 1:30 PM UTC

Address

Crowell & Moring
Rue Joseph Stevens 7, B-1000 Brussels

On May 25, 2019, we will celebrate the first birthday of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are proud to invite you to our seminar with special guest speaker Mr. David Stevens, the newly appointed Chairman of the Belgian Data Protection Authority, who will shed light on the implementation of the GDPR from the point of view of the Authority.


During this Deep Dive we will also lead a discussion and exchange of experiences from the company standpoint: What has happened since May 25, 2018? How do companies and data subjects deal with their various rights and obligations in practice? What issues do companies struggle with and what are the questions they ask their lawyers? What did the regulators do? How did our digital lives change? Is our data now truly better protected than before? 


Specific topics will include:

  • Frequent debates about basic concepts: making the distinction between “controller”, “joint controller” and “processor” is not always straightforward in practice.
  • Vendor management issues, including data processing agreement negotiations.
  • Evolutions in consent options for direct marketing.
  • GDPR enforcement across Europe?
  • Recurring topics in discussions about HR privacy.
  • Managing GDPR in an international environment.

To conclude, we will also take a look at the possible future of the GDPR.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
