The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be enforced from May 25th this year and is set to have a profound impact on meetings and events. It will affect events of all shapes and sizes since the processing of personal data is central to the entire lifecycle.
The spirit of GDPR is to put the security and privacy of personal data at the forefront and for organizations to operate on the principle of “privacy by design”. For Cvent this is part of our DNA and how we’ve always operated, so we welcome these new regulations and are ready to help our customers understand GDPR and comply with its requirements.
