Electronic Records and IM Conference - Call for Speakers
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 is posing new challenges for corporate records management. Organizations are realizing that no one technology or disciplines 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.
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.
Note that this is just a call for speakers at this time - the seminar program may change. Please monitor Acuity Forums for updates.

ARMA VI/Vancouver win bid to host 2012 Canada Conference!
ARMA Vancouver Island, in co-operation with ARMA Vancouver, is pleased to announce that we were successful in our bid to have the 2012 ARMA Canada Conference hosted in beautiful Victoria, BC! We faced strong competition from the Terra Nova (Newfoundland/Labrador) and Ottawa-NCR (National Capital Region) chapters, but prevailed after a formal bid process and then a raucous informal bid in skit format that involved Ken Oldenburger as a knowledgable pedicab operator, Leonora Casey as an inquisitive tourist, and incoming president Jon Weston as a table.
Board members from both Vancouver Island and Vancouver chapters have already met with Ivan Saunders, ARMA Canada Conference Chair, to start the planning process.
