Upcoming Industry Meetings and Webinars - May 1-31, 2024

Here are the industry webinars and events I'm aware of for May 1-31, 2024. Conferences and bigger events are listed through August 31, 2024 because they have longer lead times. I don't have anything to do with any of these from a planning perspective, so please reach out to the individual event producers with any questions.

Note also that I generally don't include training courses as the volume is simply too high. I'm working on a better/different way to highlight industry training - watch this space. 

If you know of a webinar or other event during this period that is focused on IM, IG, RM, etc. that's not listed, let me know here or at jesse.wilkins@athroconsulting.com. Vendors, other associations, consultants, etc. all welcome as long as the event is educational and not completely self-serving, e.g., no demos. No charge to list your event or to access the list. 

Also note that 16 ARMA chapters have come together for the 4th Annual Spring Seminar Mania. The individual events are listed on the applicable date below, but you can see the entire list and learn about possible prizes at https://armamilwaukee.org/spring-seminar-mania-2024/.

May 16 - Ask Me Anything about the Spring 2024 IGIM Conference Season

I'm pleased to announce that my next Ask Me Anything (AMA) session is scheduled for May 16, 2024 at 12:00pm EDT / 10:00am MDT. The topic is the Spring 2024 IGIM conference season: Which event(s) did you attend, what did you think, what were the trends in terms of content covered, etc. 

I went to AIIM24 in San Antonio, TX; I know others who attended ARMA InfoNEXT, and ARMA Canada Information Conference ends the day before this AMA, so it will still be fresh in peoples' minds. If you went to another event, like the InfoGov World IG Leadership Summit in March or the IAPP Global Privacy Summit, or something not listed, feel free to bring those experiences as well. 

As with all of these, there are no slides, and I am not recording the session so that people will feel more comfortable participating. I'm also not harvesting emails, or selling anything - I'm just hoping for a good conversation about the events!
