Bullet Chairman's Introduction

Monitor graphicRapid change 2009 is a time of rapid change in Information and Records Management. New technologies such as social networking and Blogs and Wikis are changing the way electronic content is created and managed and posing new challenges for corporate records management. Organisations are realising that no one technology or discipline is the answer and are developing integrated information and records management strategies.
New approaches to electronic preservation and new services are beginning to offer new options for information lifecycle management including electronic archiving and shared electronic records management services. New Codes of Practice, new Standards and new Assessment processes are being introduced in the public sector.

Improving records management We are in a recession but public sector bodies still need to improve their records management policies and procedures, to make the case for investing in new systems and to take a corporate approach to information and records manage-ment. Securing the necessary resources and budget is very challenging in the current climate so come and learn how to make a compelling business case for investment.

Getting help This conference shows you where you can turn to for support both today and in the future. It will update you with the latest guidance on best practice for all aspects of information and records management, and the latest trends in the marketplace including new lower-cost platforms for content management and collaboration and enterprise search and new guides to specifying your requirements and meeting future challenges.

Comprehensive programme We have common and specific interests in the public sector so we have keynote sessions in the morning and breakout sessions and workshops so you can tailor your learning experience to exactly meet your interests. Discussion sessions ensure you can put your point of view and get fully involved in the debate. We also have a free exhibition running alongside the conference with a wide range of solution and service providers in attendance.

Sponsored by The National Archives I would like to thank colleagues from The National Archives for supporting this event and for their valuable input to the final programme. We all very much look forward to seeing you in June.
