  May 25th 2018 is the day that the most significant legislation of the digital age takes effect, giving individuals enforceable rights over the collection, processing and distribution of their personal data.   Data is the lifeblood of the live events industry and everyone involved in the sector will need to actively adapt their working lives around GDPR’s new parameters or risk heavy reprimand.
