It was a good learning experience, specifically enjoyed the simulation drafting exercise related to Consent Clause. It covered the detailed intricacies of the Data Privacy Laws 2023.

This course was really well organised and well designed. What stood out was the value it delivered at such an economical pricing point, similar courses/conferences cost 10x more, especially with the lineup of speakers we had. The moderator – speaker model was also quite intuitive, and all important topics were covered by the speakers. I’m actually looking forward to courses like these organized in the future.
