Dear Colleagues,

 

 

A major two day conference event is taking place on the 6th and 7th of July this year at  the Fielder centre in Hatfield which is part of the University of Hertfordshire.

 

The programme has been shaped to be especially relevant for record and information management professionals working within local government and we hope that you will be able to come or if not send a representative.

 

The theme for this event is The Future of Electronic Information and Records Management in the Public Sector. Archivists and record managers involved in developing information and records management policies and procedures and researching, procuring and implementing EDRM and ECM solutions in public authorities should consider attending.

 

The first day Tuesday 6 July is devoted to 2 full day workshops. The first workshop provides an in-depth review of the Lord Chancellor’s Code of Practice on the Management of Records which sets the standard for the public sector. The Code was revised and reissued in July 2009. The National Archives will be showcasing the new implementation guides and compliance assessment tools which have been developed to support implementation of the revised Code  The second workshop is devoted to Microsoft SharePoint, which is being widely implemented in the public sector, and looks at its potential for document and records management now and in the future.

 

Wednesday 7 July is devoted to the formal conference and will focus on new and forthcoming best practice guidelines and standards; new approaches to making the business case for information and records management and the latest trends in the marketplace. As we have both common and specific interests in the public sector we have developed a programme to provide  a mixture of plenary keynote sessions accompanied by breakout sessions focusing on specific topics 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. There will also be a free exhibition running alongside the conference.

 

Delegates are offered three attendance options:

 

1.     attendance at one of the workshops on 6th July,

2.     the conference itself on the 7th of July

3.     attendance at both workshops and the conference on 6th and 7th July.
