APSIM is a biennial conference that brings together members of the Newfoundland and Labrador access, privacy, information security and information management communities to promote collaboration and build awareness of the overlap and interplay between these various disciplines. Our goal is to facilitate our ability to assist each other in managing, protecting and securing information.

Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, APSIM had been postponed from its original April, 2020 date and will now be an online event hosted by the Memorial University Signal Hill Campus. As in previous years, there is no cost to attend.

Conference highlights include keynote addresses from University of Ottawa Faculty of Law professor Dr. Teresa Scassa on the future of privacy in Canada, and former British Columbia Information and Privacy Commissioner David Loukidelis on developments in privacy and access laws and digital economies.

David Loukidelis will also join Alberta Information and Privacy Commissioner Jill Clayton and Newfoundland and Labrador Information and Privacy Commissioner Michael Harvey for a regulators’ panel discussion. Other conference highlights include presentations on cloud computing, online safety, managing shared drives, digital government, and data governance in healthcare.

The OIPC would like to thank the Steering Committee for their work planning this event.
