Thursday 29 January, 12pm UK | 2026 is set to be a defining year for data protection. The EU is finalising its Digital Omnibus reforms, the EU AI Act is moving into its next regulatory phase, and countries across the world are introducing or tightening data protection and AI safety laws.
At the same time, the UK’s Data (Use and Access) Act is reshaping UK GDPR compliance for businesses, creating new obligations for data governance, record keeping and risk assessments.
In this webinar, we will take you through the major data protection and AI compliance developments that will shape the year ahead. From updated GDPR enforcement trends and important case law, to new global privacy regimes in Asia and the changes coming under the EU’s Digital Omnibus package, we will explain what organisations need to prepare for and how to manage cross border data and AI risks.
