2017 Munster GDPR Hotel Conference
When it comes to data security, there are few sectors as vulnerable to threats as the hotel industry. Customers hand over card payment details and personal information on a daily basis, it is no surprise that the industry accounted for the second largest share of security breaches in 2016. The enforcement deadline for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is now only months away, hotels are facing a greater incentive to upgrade their data protection processes, or face the risk of severe financial penalties.
Non-compliance for GDPR will be costly, those who aren't compliant face fines of up to 4% of their annual turnover or €20 million. The Munster GDPR Hotel Conference will provide participants with the knowledge necessary to comply with the biggest data protection change of these times, while also learning how to stay protected from hacking.

- It will also apply to all companies in the UK, despite the aftermath of Brexit.
