This week I am devoting my blog to ARMA International’s InfoCon 2024, which will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas on October 14-16. I am a big fan of this annual conference for several reasons.
Perhaps the main reason is because I get to see and geek out with other information governance professionals about the latest happenings in our industry and in our personal lives. The attendees are folks that have truly become friends over the years, as this is a group that is so collaborative, genuine and humble. I honestly owe most of my success in the records and information management industry to ARMA, and in particular to this annual conference. My first one was in Montreal back in 2001, when we flew to Canada shortly after 9/11. The attendance was a little thinner than usual, but the quality of the conference was top notch. I was hooked, and I have attended every annual conference since.
Over the years, ARMA International has given me a platform to demonstrate leadership, such as chairing the IGP Certification Board or even serving on the Board of Directors. As a result, I now wear my Fellow of ARMA International (FAI) Designation with pride. And, I am always honored and humbled whenever I am invited to speak. This year is no exception, as I will be presenting on Monday, October 14 at 3:30 PM regarding the role of legal in IG programs. I always pop in on sessions my colleagues present, which include eye opening case studies and the latest developments in the industry. In some respects, misery loves company as they say, and InfoCon 2024 is a safe space to commiserate, laugh and learn.
As you know, I have devoted my last two blogs to the importance of the records retention schedule as the first line of defense in discovery and privacy concerns. To that end, and to show our appreciation for InfoCon and the industry, Isaza Law is pleased to offer a 15% discount on any signed flat fee engagement for a records retention schedule project or refresh that is signed before the end of 2024.
