Verney Conference Management is proud to present the Managing Government Information 4th Annual Forum. Powered by the momentum of last year's successful forum, this year's program has again been structured into four unique, but complementary themes:

  • The Future: What do we want the Government landscape to look like? What is your vision? How do we get there?
  • The People: Who is an IM Specialist? What are the competencies? What training do we need?
  • The Organization: What practices and procedures do we need? How about technology implications? How do we ensure the organization is moving in the right direction?
  • The Standards: What are you policy and legal requirements? What are your management related considerations? How do you apply a life-cycle to your information assets?

This year's program will feature many exciting speakers from all levels of the public sector across Canada, and we are especially proud to welcome the Hon. John Reid, Information Commissioner of Canada for one of his last public appearances before he leaves in March. As an attendee you will be privy to Mr. Reid's thoughts on the reform of the Access to Information Act, questions raised both answered and unanswered, as well as his thoughts on the Hon. Gerard La Forest's recommendations regarding the merger of the Information Commissioner's Office with that of the Privacy Commissioner's Office.

A learning event like no other, this year's event takes a unique structural approach that will ensure your Managing Government Information Forum makes the most sense for you and the IM responsibilities you are tasked with. Simply put, you will have more flexibility than ever before with how you choose to participate, ensuring your time and money is most effectively spent!!!

Last year's program sold out!!! Be sure to reserve your seat today, and ensure that your organization is moving your information management efforts forward.
