[1 CPE] Data Literacy: No One is Data Literate. No One.

  Presented by John Ladley • Data Governance Author & EIM Leader

The new topic of the year is data literacy. In this session, you will learn how to use education to increase data literacy at all levels to reduce the mismanagement of data. Topics that will be covered include:

  • Fundamentals of data – leadership, management, and all areas of organizations need to accept that they need to understand some new things. No one is data literate.
  • Acting accordingly – where are we not acting correctly and how do we fix it.
  • What do I need to do – this starts with the individual.

From there, John will offer some practical steps to acquire true engagement and data literacy in the process.

[1 CPE] The Privacy Roadmap: What You Need to Know About Data Privacy Now and Moving Forward

  Presented by INTERFACE Advisory Council

First, GDPR came into law in the European Union. Then in January of 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act took effect. Privacy laws are now a reality for all IT professionals to deal with. Are you sharing any data with third parties? How is your data stored? Have you verified all the needed compliance regulations for data in the cloud? These are just some of the many questions IT professionals need to be ready for when it comes to the current state of data privacy.

Join the INTERFACE Portland Advisory Council for a discussion on these topics and more. We will discuss setting up the right program for your operation. There will also be tips shared from handling the newest privacy laws and how these items differ from traditional cyber security preparations. Our panel of local IT leaders will offer their experiences from the last couple of years with the rapid growth in data privacy laws and how it affects the IT industry.
