Join colleagues for our second annual conference, providing strategic insights on AI, cyber risk, data governance, and legal compliance in education.
The Data Protection Education conference is specifically designed for senior leaders, governance, IT and data professionals within Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) who are dedicated to fostering robust strategic governance, ensuring compliance, and actively mitigating risks in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
The main themes are the same as last year, but with more great speakers (and one or two returning favourites) and all new content.
Understand what's new from the regulatory viewpoint in order to ensure compliance.
Exploring the legal and ethical dimensions of AI adoption in schools to avoid unforeseen complexities.
Strengthening IT infrastructure against emerging cyber threats and fostering a security-conscious culture. PLus the latest on the Digital Standards.
Learn to implement robust frameworks that ensure transparent oversight of operations and consistent, long-term compliance across your MAT.
Understand strategic corporate cyber risks, develop effective mitigation strategies, and establish resilient response planning for crises, even without a technical background.
We'll look at AI in education, understand intricate legal and data risks, and navigate ethical dimensions to avoid unforeseen regulatory complexities.
Learn how to embed a truly proactive and risk-aware culture throughout your Senior Leadership Team, extending beyond just end-users.
This event is not merely about meeting regulatory requirements; it's about equipping leaders with the actionable knowledge and tools to confidently steer their MATs through emerging technological and regulatory challenges.
Enjoy plenty of networking opportunities, delicious food, and refreshments throughout the day, including a post- conference drinks reception!
