How to Navigate Data Law and its Challenges and Opportunities

This session identifies and explores the changing legal landscape for Data Law.

Globally, we are seeing increasing regulatory alignment to rights-based data protection frameworks. However, a wide variety of alternative data governance initiatives with diverse objectives and conceptual starting points are also emerging. In this session we discuss the legal challenges this entails as well as the opportunities it presents for more effective data governance.
