More than ever, service providers are trying to compete by\u00a0improving their customer experience, yet ironically, the need to heighten privacy can sometimes negatively impact the customers&#8217; experience in dealing with the provider. Furthermore, legislation is a key driver for privacy protection and security spending.

We are pleased that Canada&#8217;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&#8217; Chief Information &amp; Security Officer, the General Manager of PayPal Canada, the Country Manager for ArcSight Canada, a senior executive from Google, along with PwC&#8217;s national information security practice leader, David Craig.\u00a0David\u00a0is featured in a story about data security in today&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/hTSAor\" target=\"_blank\">Globe and Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can download a printable version of our <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/CTS11B\" target=\"_blank\">6-page brochure<\/a> from the conference website.<\/p>\n<p>Registration fees increase by $250 on May 1.
