Brexit: Everything You Need to Know

Posted by BIMA

The clock’s ticking down to the end of Brexit transition.

What?

The clock’s ticking down to the end of Brexit transition. Come 1 January, whether the government reaches a deal or not, business will be affected. At this event, we’ll explore the post-Brexit landscape from a digital perspective, ask how it will affect you – and consider what you need to do to be ready. Join an expert panel to examine:

  • New commercial opportunities presented by Brexit
  • The post-Brexit impact on your workplace
  • How to strike trade deals in 2021
  • The effect on data, GDPR and data privacy
  • The impact on IP including copyright in broadcasting/VOD and digital content
  • Immigration and the impact on visas

Why?

For many digital and tech businesses the real challenge in managing Brexit lies in understanding which questions to ask. Without knowing the areas of your business most likely to be affected by Brexit, you can’t plan or prioritise.

So in this session, we’ll explore the areas most likely to be impacted by Brexit and help you navigate the changeover.
