Date & Time: Friday, May 8, 2026 | 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM ET
Venue: Sompo, Suite 3100, 199 Bay Street  Commerce Court

We ran this workshop last May and it was hugely popular so we're bringing it back to Toronto!

Join us for a half-day, in-person workshop in Toronto on Friday, May 8, 2026, designed specifically for in-house lawyers who also serve as privacy officers within their organizations or who regularly manage privacy-related issues.

We understand the challenge of balancing core legal responsibilities with the growing complexities of privacy management. This interactive workshop is built to meet you where you are and provide practical, real-world support.

This hands-on session will equip you with tools and strategies to more seamlessly integrate privacy into your business operations. Our goal is to help you:

✅ Operationalize privacy while staying focused on your broader legal role
✅ Leverage internal resources and collaborate cross-functionally
✅ Reduce operational risk and strengthen privacy and compliance frameworks

Throughout the workshop, we’ll cover key regulatory updates, top operational risks, and best practices for embedding privacy into your organization’s day-to-day operations. Expect actionable insights that you can implement immediately.
