FOI Live 2009

FOI Live 2009 - a conference for information rights practitioners

You can find presentations and recordings from the FOI Live Conference on the Constitution Unit website.

Following the success of our past conferences, FOI Live is expanding to cover the whole range of information rights. The Constitution Unit, Ministry of Justice and Information Commissioner's Office invite you to explore the benefits and challenges of working with information rights and learn from others at the Seventh Annual Information Rights Conference for the Public Sector in the UK.

What is FOI Live 2009?

FOI Live is a conference for those involved in all types of work across the field of information rights, from FOI to Data Protection, information sharing and records management. Building on the success of previous years, FOI Live gives delegates a unique chance to meet with a range of people from across the information rights community, including key figures from government and the Information Commissioner's Office. During the day, delegates may choose from a range of parallel sessions including data security, information sharing and presenting cases to the ICO and Information Tribunal. There is a special 'FOI catch up' session introducing new practitioners to the area and a panel giving the point of view of the information requester using different access legislation.

This year the conference also includes an interactive question and answer session where information rights experts offer advice and solutions to common practitioner problems. The day's programme ends with a drinks reception where delegates can network and chat with the speakers.
