Hosted by: Government Studies, Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta
Sponsored by: TELUS Corporation

Access & Privacy Conference 2004 provides a professional development opportunity for professionals who are involved with health information (HIA), FOIP, and private sector privacy.

Sorting It Out: With the introduction of private-sector privacy and the adoption of health information privacy regimes, laws supporting access rights and assuring privacy protection have become a complex fabric of interdependent principles and competing priorities, requiring careful cooperation between developers, users, the public, and regulators. Increasingly, information management issues from the broad spectrum of organizational activities are being channeled to access and privacy professionals for clarification and resolution. Access & Privacy Conference 2004 will help access and privacy professionals to keep on top of key changes and emerging issues and to sort out practical new approaches to working with access and privacy legislation to build trust and accountability in the Information Age.

Access & Privacy Conference 2004 is designed to bring federal and provincial experts together to assist access and privacy professionals to gain clarity, insight, and understanding around all of the current access and privacy legislation, including:

PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act)

FOIP (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy)

HIA (Health Information Act)

Federal Access to Information and Privacy Act
