Avoid fines of up to 20 million - get informed about the new EU data protection regulat

IABM webinar - 10 steps in preparation for the GDPR - 25th October 2017 19th October 2017

Avoid fines of up to 20 million get informed about the new EU data protection regulations

On the 25th May, 2018, the EU's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) comes into force - and it will affect every company that holds and processes data on EU nationals - both within the EU and anywhere else in the world. With the international nature of the broadcast and media industry, this means that the vast majority of IABM member companies will need to comply with the GDPR. Penalties for non-compliance can be severe - up to 20 million or 4% of a company's worldwide turnover for serious breaches.

With this in mind, IABM is hosting a webinar on how to prepare for the GDPR. The webinar takes place on 25th October 2017 and is free to IABM members. Nicola Barden, Associate Solicitor at IABM Bronze member, Harbottle & Lewis LLP, will explain the provisions of the GDPR, how they are different from - and stronger than - existing data protection laws, and how they will affect the way companies store and process personal data. Nicola will then suggest ten steps companies need to take - starting now - to be compliant when the new regulation comes into force in May 2018.

To book a place on the webinar - 10 steps in preparation for the GDPR sign up here. The webinar - just another part of IABM's extensive member benefits package is free to all IABM members. Non-members can also join the webinar for a fee of £75.

Most companies in our industry will be directly affected by the GDPR, which has far-reaching implications for anyone holding and processing data on EU nationals, said Lisa Collins, IABM Head of Marketing. I strongly urge all companies to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to learn about the new responsibilities the GDPR puts on them and what they can do to ensure compliance, from an acknowledged expert on the new regulation.
