Course Overview

Professional and industry events can be challenging environments, especially for employees unfamiliar with them. Conference attendees are frequently targeted by local criminals, while the environment of the event itself presents a number of personal safety and data security risks. Even some of the benefits of professional events come with pitfalls: networking opportunities are also potentially opportunities to make a bad impression or give away sensitive information. For organisations, the consequences of these challenges can be substantial: data theft, reputational damage and reduced employee wellbeing.

“Travelling for Work: Conferences and Exhibitions” equips business travellers with the knowledge and skills to get the most out of a professional event, while avoiding common pitfalls. The 3-minute animation—with rich, learning-focused visual content and lively audio narration—introduces the learner to behaviours which maximise personal and organisational security.

Course Objectives

• Guard personal data
