DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP) is organizin
 g an afternoon conference with privacy leaders addressing the latest devel
 opments of the Privacy field\, such as the Right to be Forgotten and Priva
 cy Class Actions.\n\n91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’s CIPP cordially invites practitioners\, polic
 ymakers\, researchers\, and students to join the field experts in their bo
 ld attempt to conceptualize the recent developments in privacy and draw a 
 roadmap for the next steps to be taken in Canada. With great consequences 
 on litigation\, consumer relations\, and innovation\, the stakes have neve
 r been higher than now.\n\nThe right to be forgotten is currently the pivo
 tal element of how legal systems balance privacy\, reputation\, and speech
 . Embraced in the E.U. first by the European Court of Justice in Google v.
  Spain and then by the GDPR\, while strongly rejected in the U.S.\, it is 
 unclear where Canada will stand in the divide. Privacy class actions\, rej
 ected by the U.S. Supreme Court last year in Spokeo\, and currently under 
 debate in the E.U. with Schrems filed at the Austrian supreme Court\, will
  determine whether millions of citizens around the world can sue corporati
 ons for privacy breaches. With privacy class actions filed in Ontario agai
 nst Bank of Montreal and potentially in British Columbia with a second Dou
 ez\, where Canada will stand is also to be determined. These two issues ha
 ve the potential of changing the corporate liability landscape for any com
 pany that interacts with technology and personal information.\n\nAimed at 
 bringing together the leading experts (whose presentations will be publish
 ed by the CIPP as part of an ongoing collection)\, this conference poses a
  unique opportunity as Canadian lawmakers and courts tackle complex agenda
 s\, such as a possible adoption of the right to be forgotten in Canada or 
 the outlook as regards privacy class actions. As privacy is being redefine
 d amidst recent scandals involving technology giants and strict privacy re
 gimes introduced by the EU\, should Canada hop on the wagon? If so\, which
  one?\n\nA request for accreditation has been made to a recognized provide
 r for 3.5 hours of continuing legal education for jurists. A fee of 60$ is
  asked for lawyers seeking CLE hours.\n\nSchedule\n\n13:30-13:45 Opening r
