Private Discussion Meetings

IAAC hosts three Private Discussion Meetings (PDMs) each year that are attended by Sponsor representatives and senior government officials and leading academics. PDMs are held over private dinners, with attendance by personal invitation attendance as part of IAAC sponsorship or IAAC membership.

The presentations and off-the-record discussions take place under Chatham House Rule and are aimed at exploring complex issues of the moment. The Information Commissioner, leaders of industry, distinguished academics and Directors of government agencies have led recent PDM discussions.

We welcome to PDMs people who represent organisations that are interested in becoming IAAC sponsors. The dinners are excellent opportunities for people who do not yet know us to appreciate both the breadth of IAAC involvement and quality of thinking that we bring together. If you are interested in sponsorship or attending a PDM please contact us at .

PDM dates: 6 September, 23 November 2011.  Venues will be advised to invitees only
