DESCRIPTION:Westminster eForum keynote seminar\nThe impact of the Smart Data Review – data portability\, new services\, and improving competition and consumer experiences in digital markets\n  \nwith \nTim Jarvis\, Director\, Consumer and Competition Policy\, Department for Business\, Energy and Industrial Strategy \nWill Hayter\, Senior Director\, Policy and International\, Competition and Markets Authority  \nImran Gulamhuseinwala\, Trustee\, Open Banking Implementation Entity \nand \nSue Daley\, techUK; Emily Davidson\, BT; Chris Gorst\, Nesta; Philip James\, Sheridans;Laurie Laybourn-Langton\, IPPR and Richard Neudegg\, uSwitch \nFollow us @WeFEvents | This event is CPD certified \n  \nMorning\, Tuesday\, 31st March 2020  \nCentral London  \n  \nBook Online | Live Agenda | Sponsorship | Our Website  \nNote: fees apply to most delegates\, but concessionary and complimentary places are available (subject to terms and conditions – see below). \n \n  \n  \nIt focuses on the implications for business and consumers of measures contained in the Smart Data Review – and next steps for their implementation. \nAs we expect discussion on developing Smart Data Initiatives in the third sector\, including latest thinking on developing standards for the storage and formatting of consumer data and the transfer of this data between organisations\, I thought this would be of interest.  \nThe Review is part of a major UK policy drive that seeks to shift greater control over personal data to individuals. \nWith government consulting on its plans\, delegates at this conference will consider the practicalities and impact of key proposals emanating from the Review. \n                        \nAreas for discussion include: \n\nTackling the ‘loyalty penalty’ and enabling consumers to more easily switch between service providers;\nIncreasing availability of consumer data for innovative third-party services;\nStandards for safety\, security and trust in the handling and transfer of consumer data;\nSmart Data initiatives to drive competition in the regulated industries and digital markets – in light of the Furman Review;\nThe new Open Communications initiative proposed by the Smart Data Review; and\nThe experience of the financial sector on new consumer-facing third-party services enabled by Open Banking standards.\n\nSpeakers \nThere will be keynote addresses from: \n\nTim Jarvis\, Director\, Consumer and Competition Policy\, Department for Business\, Energy and Industrial Strategy;\nImran Gulamhuseinwala\, Trustee\, Open Banking Implementation Entity; and\nWill Hayter\, Senior Director\, Policy and International\, Competition and Markets Authority.\n\nFurther confirmed speakers include: Sue Daley\, techUK; Emily Davidson\, BT; Chris Gorst\, Nesta; Philip James\, Sheridans; Laurie Laybourn-Langton\, IPPR and Richard Neudegg\, uSwitch. \nThe agenda  \n\nThe Smart Data Review – key proposals and next steps;\nThe way forward for addressing the ‘loyalty penalty’ in consumer markets;\nDeveloping Smart Data Initiatives in the regulated industries – new services\, competition and consumer benefit;\nData portability and data transfers between online platforms – next steps for collaboration and developing standards;\nHow can Smart Data Initiatives improve competition and consumer experiences in digital markets and online services?; and\nCase study: Enabling innovation in data-driven services for consumers through the development of Open Banking standards.\n\nBook Online | Live Agenda \n  \nThe details: areas for discussion at this conference \nData portability\, innovative services\, and developing Smart Data Initiatives \nDelegates will consider what consumer benefits might be realised by means of putting in place a series of Smart Data Initiatives across the regulated industries and digital markets. \nThe agenda will bring out the latest thinking on developing storage and formatting standards for consumer data and to enable sharing between organisations – as well as next steps for rollout across a range of industries. \nThere will also be discussion on key priorities for driving innovation in data-driven consumer-facing services\, and the extent to which improved access to consumer data for third party providers will be required to enable this. \nThe agenda includes a case study on the ongoing implementation ofOpen Bankingstandards\, with a range of new consumer-facing services which utilise consumer data being brought to market by third-party providers. \nConsumer protection and tackling the ‘loyalty penalty’ \nThe seminar takes place following the CMA’sinvestigationinto the ‘loyalty penalty’ in consumer markets\, and the government response– committing to further work to take forward the CMA’s recommendations and to ‘tackle harmful business practices and deliver better outcomes for consumers’. \nWe expect discussion on the potential offered by proposals in the Smart Data Review to address concerns around overcharging of customers who remain with one provider for an extended period – including ways in which Smart Data Initiatives might simplify the process of comparing\, and switching between\, utility and service providers. \nWe also expect those attending to look at the Review’s proposals to develop a new ‘Open Communications’ initiative\, aimed at broadening access to consumer data for third-party service providers in the communications sector\, and improving the availability to consumers of data concerning service quality\, network speed and coverage. \nFurther discussion will consider the extent to which new data-driven services might offer benefits to vulnerable consumers – including in areas such as provider switching\, financial management\, and comparison services. \nDelegates will assess key priorities for ensuring public trust in new data-driven services – including third-party provider accreditation\, data protection requirements\, and restrictions on sharing data with non-accredited parties. \nCompetition and market dominance \nFollowing the publication of theFurman Review into competition in digital markets and the digital economy earlier this year – and in the context of the government confirmation that it intends to take forward that Review’s recommendation of a new Digital Markets Unit – we expect discussion on the state of competition in digital markets and the impact of this on consumers in those markets. \nThose attending will discuss the extent to which simplifying and standardising the process of consumer data transfer between online platforms and service providers\, and empowering consumers to mandate that these data transfers take place\, can improve competition\, choice and consumer experience in these sectors. \nNext steps for policy – taking forward the Smart Data Review’s key proposals \nWe also expect discussion on the next steps for policymakers\, regulators\, businesses and other stakeholder groups in taking forward the Review’s recommendations\, and on the impact of further expected policy developments. \nIn the context of the upcoming Consumer White Paper\, those in attendance will discuss what measures should be included in this to advance the programme of work in the Smart Data Review. \nThe draft agenda is copied below my signature\, and a regularly updated version is available to download here. The seminar is organised on the basis of strict impartiality by the Westminster eForum. Follow us @WeFEvents for live updates. \nSpeakers \nWe are delighted to be able to include in this seminar keynote addresses from: Tim Jarvis\, Director\, Consumer and Competition Policy\, Department for Business\, Energy and Industrial Strategy; Will Hayter\, Senior Director\, Policy and International\, Competition and Markets Authority and Imran Gulamhuseinwala\, Trustee\, Open Banking Implementation Entity \n                                        \nFurther confirmed speakers include: Sue Daley\, Associate Director\, Technology and Innovation\, techUK; Emily Davidson\, Principal\, Regulatory Affairs\, BT; Chris Gorst\, Director\, Nesta Challenges\, Nesta; Philip James\, Partner\, Technology and Digital Media\, Sheridans; Laurie Laybourn-Langton\, Senior Research Fellow\, Institute for Public Policy Research and Richard Neudegg\, Head of Regulation\, uSwitch. \nAdditional senior participants are being approached. \nNetworking \nThis seminar will present an opportunity to engage with key policymakers and other interested parties\, and is CPD certified (more details).
