I was honoured to have been invited to speak at TRU’s Privacy and Security Conference. The organizers put together another great event addressing many complex elements of the subject.
Yes, this is quite similar to the talk I gave for the Kamloops Film Society. However, this one had about thirty per cent more material, and was delivered in about half the time. So if you would like to hear someone frenetically scramble on the edge of panic, this might be just the thing.
