The Records Management Association of Australasia (RMAA) recognises that in order to continue to improve and develop, the annual convention needs its own independent identity. The aim is to provide a wider range of information-based topics and to expand the participant base to related information fields. Most importantly it provides future participants with the most up to date and relevant convention that the RMAA can offer. InForum 2010 is being held 5-8 September 2010, Gold Coast Convention Centre, Broad Beach, Queensland, Australia INFORMATION CONTINUITY: SAFEGUARDING BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY IDENTITY This convention focuses on information continuity for the business and government world, and also for individuals, families, community-based organisations, and indigenous and minority communities. There are multiple perspectives of how information, memory and evidence supports business and community identity and all need to be understood and included in policy, practice and enabling technologies. Through multiple concurrent sessions consisting of professional papers, roundtables and workshops, the forum will explore perspectives of business, government and communities; and the policies, processes and enabling technologies that support information continuity. Topics could include: *Different ways community identity is created and maintained *Privacy issues in revealing identities *Digital rights management *Role of continuity plans and how to develop one *Innovations in education curricula *Research into communities to establish and regain evidence and memory *Recovering evidence and identity after natural disasters or system failures *Innovation in storage and preservation standards and practice *Information continuity and risk strategies *Challenges in sharing and re-using information *Case studies on data transfer and migration, inheriting functions and business mergers *Innovations in continuity and change management *Emergency management plans *Digital curation strategies *Preserving records in community memory places We welcome contributions from community-based organisations, indigenous communities, disaster or system failure survivors, risk analysts, legal practitioners, researchers, heritage consultants, business and government organisations, information professionals, preservation experts, risk analysts, educators, students, continuity and disaster planning experts.
