GDPR was the star of the show for the 2018 IAPP Global Privacy Summit. No surprise there. What was surprising was the range of content and speakers that were there. There were multiple data protection commissioners in the building, including Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin from France and Helen Dixon from Ireland, as well as the newly elected chair of the Article 29 Working Party, Andrea Jelinek from Austria. There were some sessions on understanding the basics of the GDPR, sessions on preparing your organization for the upcoming deadline, as well as some sessions speaking to the different consulting and attestation options available to help meet the Regulation. Everywhere you looked it was GDPR and this overwhelming feeling of “The End is Nigh!” There were even shirts given out at the Convention Center that substituted “GDPR” for “Winter” in the popular “Winter is Coming” line from HBO’s series Game of Thrones.

Gary Nelson, Schellman Director and Mark Sasala, creehan & company Subject Matter Expert, will speak during the ScriptMed Conference on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 on EPCS - "Impact on Physicians and Pharmacy.” Gary and Mark will discuss the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) rule, “Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances” that recently revised its regulations to give physicians the choice of writing prescriptions for controlled substances the traditional method or through the electronic system.
