This seminar will be a timely opportunity to discuss the future of the
UK big data sector, as well as examining the key challenges it faces.
With the development of a data-driven economy across the European Digital Single Market
a priority for the European Commission, delegates will discuss best
practice in the use of data analytics and its application within public
and private sectors, particularly focusing on business benefits such as
reducing cost, increasing consumer loyalty and improving efficiency - as
well as the responsible handling of personal data.
Sessions also
consider the key practical, technological and legal challenges for big
data collection and use including issues surrounding consumer trust,
skill shortages, and key considerations about consumer privacy in light
of the forthcoming new EU General Data Protection Regulation.
