The 2011 Canadian Telecom Summit is now less than 2 months away – the event opens on May 31 in Toronto.
In addition to keynote addresses from 17 industry leaders, there are a number of panels that are examining issues in greater depth. Over teh coming weeks, I’ll try to provide previews of some of these sessions.
For example, this year will include a panel examining security and privacy. More than ever, service providers are trying to compete by improving their customer experience, yet ironically, the need to heighten privacy can sometimes negatively impact the customers’ experience in dealing with the provider. Furthermore, legislation is a key driver for privacy protection and security spending. And, with mobile payments and near field communication (NFC), can privacy and security enable or hinder adoption of these approach and enhance the customer experience? We are pleased that Canada’s Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, will be joining a panel on June 1 at The 2011 Canadian Telecom Summit to examine these issues and more. The panel will also feature Rogers’ Chief Information & Security Officer, the General Manager of PayPal Canada, the Country Manager for ArcSight Canada, a senior executive from Google, along with PwC’s national information security practice leader, David Craig. David is featured in a story about data security in today’s Globe and Mail.
