Upcoming Industry Meetings and Webinars - May 16 - June 15, 2024

Here are the industry webinars and events I'm aware of for May 16 - June 15, 2024. Conferences and bigger events are listed through September 30, 2024 because they have longer lead times to get approval, set up travel, etc. 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 local 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.

May 13, 2024

I'm Available to Speak at Your Event - May 2024 Update

By way of background, I've been speaking on information management-related topics since around 2000. I've been privileged to speak at AIIM 2003 - 2023, about a dozen ARMA conferences, a number of MER conferences between 2010 and 2023, and more than 800 other events since 2003. I've also delivered a number of keynote sessions at conferences, user group meetings, and solution provider events. I also take public speaking seriously, meaning I'm prepared, I meet deadlines, and I'm flexible. 

Topics

Here are some topics that I'm very comfortable doing - I speak on them regularly, albeit with different nuances for different audiences. This is not an exhaustive list, just the things I've done recently. If you don't see your topic or angle on the list, reach out to me anyway and we can discuss. 

  • Building and Sustaining Your RIM Program with a RIM Playbook (broader IG version available too)
  • Records Management in the Age of Privacy
  • Professional Development for the Information Professional
  • How to Build Your Own Professional Development Plan
  • The Best Certifications for Information Professionals
  • How to Select the Right Certification for You
  • Information Management Industry Certifications: An Overview
  • When Employees Leave: How to Manage Separating Employees' Information
  • How to Conduct a Business and Technical Assessment for Information Management
  • How to Conduct an Information Management Maturity Assessment
  • How to Conduct a Social Media Business Assessment
  • How to Implement Social Media Governance

Many of these can be done as half- or full-day seminars or workshops, complete with checklists, guidelines, templates, etc. Check with me for more information. 

Delivery

I am quite comfortable doing in-person events, but you or your organization might not be. You also might not have the travel budget to bring me in. That's OK; I've been doing live remote events since 2004. For remote, I have access to Zoom, Slack, Teams, Webex, Google, etc. and if you have a different platform I'll figure it out. 

For in-person events, whatever venue you use, I can make work; I've spoken in auditoriums, conference rooms, bars, a bowling alley, and even Fenway Park and the Boston Zoo. 

Fees and Scheduling

As has been the case for a few years now, I am waiving any speaking fees for local presentations for non-profits like ARMA and AIIM chapters. For in-person events, even chapter meetings, I do need to recoup travel costs, but I'm a pretty cheap date. Note that this generally applies to meetings up to 2 hours; if you bring me in to deliver a full- or multi-day seminar, I do charge a speaking fee, but I have some flexibility. 

Solution providers and end user organizations? I'm available to speak at your events as well, but I do charge a fee and travel costs, with the fee based on the location, duration, and topic. 

If you're interested, reach out to me at jesse.wilkins@athroconsulting.com to discuss. Right now I'm scheduling starting in September 2024 through June 2025. If you're interested in a half- or full-day seminar, please contact me sooner than later as I have a very limited amount of availability for those.

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.

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.

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!

Here are the industry webinars and events I'm aware of for April 1-30, 2024. Conferences and bigger events are listed through June 30, 2024 because they have longer lead times.

My Approach to Industry Events and Resources

I've gotten some interesting feedback lately about what I've been writing about, and in particular how much of it has been about AIIM. I want to address this and some of the underlying concerns. 

I noted in December and January that I had become an AIIM Training Partner and AIIM CIP Ambassador. As I noted in those posts, 

  • AIIM Training Partner means I get to teach AIIM training content and I pay AIIM for access to that content. 
  • AIIM CIP Ambassador means there is a commission structure in place - if someone uses my referral code to purchase a CIP exam or renew their CIP status, I get paid. To date the only place I've used the referral code is on the CIP Preparatory Workshop page of my website; to date I haven't received a single payment. 
I'm also promoting the AIIM24 conference a lot. That's because I'm attending it, and delivering two presentations and a workshop during the event. I get nothing financially from my participation - in fact, I have to pay my own travel costs. The registration is free for speakers, but as an AIIM Fellow my registration is already free. 

In other words, I haven't gotten any direct financial compensation - yet - from any of my relationships with AIIM (though the possibility is of course there). In fact, I've paid for the privilege. If someone suggests that I'm being paid by AIIM, at best they are ignorant of the actual facts. 

Beyond that, I'm still reposting other events I see like ARMA's InfoNEXT, the ARMA Canada Information Conference, Robert Smallwood's Leadership Summits, etc. I'm just not as vocal about them because I'm not participating in them. I don't know how amazing event X will be or how gorgeous the venue location is. If I get accepted to speak at ARMA InfoCon 2024 this year, I'll be promoting it as heavily as I have been with AIIM24. 

If you want me to be vocal about your events, get me involved, either as a speaker or by making a compelling business case for senior people like me to attend your event. It would also help to not have scheduled your event very close to other events or major holidays. 

I'm also a full professional member in good standing of *9* IG/IM/RM associations: 

  • AIIM, since 2001
  • ARMA, since 2001
  • ICRM, since 2010
  • IAPP, since 2017
  • IRMS (UK), since 2021
  • ACMP, since 2022
  • NAGARA, since 2022
  • RIMPA Global, since 2023
  • CIGOA, since 2024 (previously 2020-2021)
So any time I see webinars, events, etc. from any of these groups, I include them as appropriate in my events listings and my newsletter, and I repost them when I see them on Twitter or LinkedIn. I should also note that, at least so far, I charge nothing to list things in either, or to access either. 

Likewise, I repost relevant training whenever I see it - up to 1x/day. But I can't promote my other training partnerships because, so far, I don't have any. ARMA and the Institute for Information Governance don't offer partnerships (and ARMA doesn't offer instructor-led training at all). If they did, I'd be more than happy to pursue those partnerships and to help create/improve their materials and delivery. IAPP's is too expensive; IRMS partners with other training providers rather than offering their own; and I haven't looked closely at RIMPA's or NAGARA's yet. 

If you want me to be vocal about your training, setting up a partnership so I can teach it is the best way IMO. If you want to give me free access in return for a review, I will, but know that the review will be honest: the good, the bad, the ugly, and will start with the reg process and go all the way through to post-assessment. I'll also disclose that fact. If you want a private review, happy to do the exact same thing except my feedback would be strictly private and designed to help make your offerings better.
