Captivated by @jmancini77’s keynote this morning at #InfoCon #ARMA2021. Reimagining how we think of information governance in all the right ways!
Christy Walters - Information Management Consultant, MUN | Canadian Region
I've known and worked with @jmancini77 for years, and I knew he was a fantastic writer and speaker. But today's #arma2021 keynote was easily the best I've seen in a long, long time. I don't do genealogy, but for 45 minutes I was riveted.
Jesse Wilkins - President and Principal Consultant at Athro Consulting
This was very thought provoking in that it provides a personal aspect to help us understand how important our work is and how important it is that we understand the past, analyze what we do today and anticipate the needs of the future.
Suzanne Graham - Senior Associate Consultant, Graham Information Management Associates
As a Records Manager and Genealogist, I truly enjoyed your keynote.
Denise Andres - Global Privacy Manager, GRIM, The Sherwin-Williams Company
Excellent presentation. You're a great speaker!
Shannon Wacker - RIM Assitant, Houston Firefighters' Relief & Retirement Fund
The nice thing about viewing this great keynote from home is that my family is listening too (including my Trinidadian wife).
Christopher Bednar - Global Records Manager, Bain & Company
This presentation was fantastic!
Erika Fields - Records Specialist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Truly an inspiring message!
Peggy Syljuberget - Records Officer, Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development
It was a phenomenal presentation, hitting on a number of pain points of records and information management that have been with us for ages and are still with us today. You covered data entry inaccuracies, lack of records, security and privacy issues in living color.
David Honeman - Senior Consultant/ Co-founder at Treasure Coast Information Privacy Services
The Search for My Grandparents — 45 min — My father had no “backstory.” My father never mentioned his family. Never. The only thing my father ever said about his Italian immigrant family was that his parents died in the 1930s, shortly after arriving at Ellis Island. Except they didn't. Once I began the search for my grandparents, I mostly ran into dead-ends. Until the 1940 Census. My grandparents magically appear, but as inmates at the Rockland Insane Asylum. What happened? Why all the secrecy? And how did I use genealogy to unravel the mystery?
What the Heck is ChatGPT and Why Should I Care? — 45 min — An exploration of the reasons that ChatGPT suddenly exploded in popular consciousness in early 2023 and the implications that generative AI has for our future.
Archives and Records: A Personal Journey — 45 min — Using my book Immigrant Secrets as context, I explore the challenges associated with preserving our history, particularly in an era of rapid technology innovation.
Understanding the New NARA Digitization Regulations — 45 min — After a lengthy approval process, the National Archives released a set of regulations for digitizing permanent records, largely based on FADGI-3 definitions of image process quality. What are the implications of these regulations for imaging at large scale? How might these regulations for federal regulations spread to other industries?
