Our past Conference delegates say it best:

“All speakers provided helpful insights into FOIA pitfalls”
Simon Cosgrove,
Senior Solicitor,
Maclay Murray & Spens

 

“An excellent, well-balanced, thought-provoking conference, which really helps to keep up to date”

Denise Francis, Records Manager, Science & Technologies Facilities Council

 

“Very useful to learn from other FOI Officers that they are experiencing similar challenges to myself”
David Barlow,
FOI Officer,
Appeals Service

 

"This is a very important topic for the private sector, and one that many companies have not yet woken up to. The Conference and the Workshop sessions were enlightening and practical, giving one a solid grounding to both assess and address the risks in one's own organisation"
John Burns, Executive,
Association for Payment Clearing Services
