Upcoming Industry Meetings and Webinars - January 16 - February 15, 2025

Here are the industry webinars and events I'm aware of for January 16 - February 15, 2025. Conferences and bigger events are listed through April 30, 2025 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 in this list.  

If you know of a webinar or other event during this period that is focused on IG, DM, RM, privacy, AI, etc. that's not listed, let me know here or at jesse.wilkins@athroconsulting.com. No charge to list your event or to access the list. 

Events hosted by vendors, other associations, consultants, etc. are all welcome as long as the event is educational and not completely self-serving, e.g., no demos. If you are interested in listing your solution-specific webinar or event, please contact me about placing and highlighting your event.
