Impressions of last year's conference
"make sure to make your travel plans for this years conference so you don’t miss the educational aspects of what’s current in our industry and the greatest data security networking opportunity you can have"
Eric Haas, ARMS Records Management. Greenbay WI
"I always come away with tons of food for thought and thoroughly energized about our industry. This year was different in that the big players (IM, Cintas) played an active role in the conference; I thought that they provided valuable insight as to where the tape vaulting business is headed and things to consider in growing our businesses. I always appreciate the fact that extremely intelligent people are willing to share their knowledge and wisdom."
David Young Jr, Security Business Archives Richmond, VA
"If you missed the conference you missed a great time of knowledge sharing, great networking, lots of good food and some ugly golf."
Chris R. Kelley, DataChambers Records Management Winston-Salem, NC
2008 Highlights
This year's key note speaker is Mr. Fred Moore from Horison Information Strategies who is an industry leader in data use forecasting. In adition to his formal presentation Mr. Moore will also be running a workshop session on dealing with the challenges of the future.
After the success of last year's round table sessions we have chosen to focus on these session on the second day of the conference. These sessions give participants the opportunity and strategize with industry peers in an environment that is less formal that the panel or presentation format.
All work and no play make for a dull conference, so along with the obligatory golf day we will also be having our annual dinner and plenty of other opportunities to unwind and enjoy the company of other conference delegates.
