If you would like to be on the debate panel please e-mail me directly by close of play tomorrow, specifying 'for' or 'against' in the subject line and 3 concise key points in the main body.
There is a good turn out signed up for this event but don't worry, there plenty of room and space to network however, if you can no longer come please change your R.S.V.P so that we know how many to expect as it is unfair on people on the waiting list and staff needed to run event.
Looking forward to a great debate and networking evening

Background Info
Both Labour and now the Coalition have talked about wanting full access to phone calls, skype calls and emails for all data and voice traffic in the UK. (

What are the implications for this? Should the government be allowed to do this? Is it a step too far?
Companies are increasingly using Big Data to predict consumer behaviour, there is a case in the US, where Target (an American retailing company) informed a father that his daughter was pregnant using predictive buying patterns of her behaviour before she informed him.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/ ).
Target have got to the point where they can predict with a 97% accuracy level whether someone is pregnant and predict their due date just on their buying patterns.
What are the implications of Big Data for consumers?
