AVG Participates at Inaugural Child Internet Safety Summit

Keeping children safe while they are online is an important topic. We should all be woking to ensure that our kids are safe at all times. That’s why Internet security company AVG is participating in the Inaugural Child Internet Safety Summit:

Organized to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Safer Internet Day, The Child Internet Safety Summit will address the urgent concerns faced by parents and teachers in the UK and Europe in relation to child abuse online.  The day-long event will be attended by approximately 300 education and online safety professionals and will offer keynote sessions from industry leaders including Claire Perry, the UK government advisor on childhood and John Carr, the UK government advisor on online child safety, amongst others.

AVG is going to be a key player at this conference by delivering a keynote speech at 11.20am on July 11th, to discuss the barrage of online threats facing children, and the action needed to ensure their online safety and privacy:

“With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets and the rapid increase in Internet usage, the debate over children’s safety online and how they engage with technology has never been more important,” said John Giamatteo, Chief Operating Officer, AVG Technologies. “We are passionate about supporting Internet safety and believe the Child Internet Safety Summit 2013 will serve to further reinforce the importance of education and the ways in which we can help to reduce the threats to children online.”

Additionally, AVG executives Siobhan MacDermott, Chief Policy Officer; and Jim Brock, VP of Privacy Products, will go on to host an interactive privacy seminar which offers attendees firsthand access to industry-leading experts on online privacy and security policies. Clearly AVG is bringing all the required resources within their company to make an impact at this summit. I think it says a lot about AVG, doesn’t it?
