Identity Theft in meetings and events may occur at any time without proper consideration at every process step and with every supplier. When you attend a conference, the organizers may ask: What type of conference was it? For instance, if you attend a conference on "How to Manage Your Adult Diabetes," and the attendee list is accidentally stolen, will you be concerned? Was any of this information stored on a laptop computer? Or, on an encrypted server? How was this information passed on to the other suppliers such as to the hotel? ground transportation company? meeting management company? travel management company? And, how long will these suppliers keep this data? To learn more about this complex environment, the National Business Travel Association is presenting a session titled "The Violations Epidemic: Privacy and Security Breaches in Meetings and Events" on Monday, August 24 in San Diego at the national convention. http://www.nbtaconvention.org/education/Pages/education_monday.aspx#ma1 Identity theft and privacy breaches can cost organizations millions of dollars. Don't let this happen to your company. For a risk assessment in your environment, please contact me.
