Not directly start-up related, but probably of interest to most people
on
this list.  As noted below, this should be a very interesting
presentation
due to the presenters in-depth knowledge and extreme views on privacy.



And as a bonus, you don't have to drive downtown at rush hour to attend!

Presentation Description



Privacy in the New Millennium - how much do you really know about
current
practices and risks, and is there anything you can do about it?



Most people have no idea of how broad and deep personal data collection
is
today, both online and offline. Learn about:



- the types of personal data that are being collected,

- how it's collected

- how it's being used

- why you should care, and

- what you can do about it



Program Chair's note: I can guarantee that you will find this
presentation
thought provoking and perhaps even terrifying.  The presenter takes a
very
strong stance in favor of stronger protections of your own data.
