Nitin Paranjpe, COO, Unilever Plc., was the guest of honor and received the book virtually at the event. He said, “The benefit of this handbook is unimaginable – for brands, for companies, for advertisers – and more so for global companies such as ours, in current times. The book highlights another important aspect that data privacy is a fundamental human right and that is a big thing."

“I would highly recommend Hansa Events as a digital producer of high profile, virtual events. I had a pleasure to work directly with them on envisioning and executing our first global, virtual launch of the IAA Global Privacy Laws Book. It turned out that Hansa Events is a world-class producer who collaborated with our international leadership team and panelists to develop a highly engaging, unique marcom industry event in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Dagmara Schulze, Managing Director, IAA.
