ARMA European Region Briefing - Join us for a complimentary seminar organised by ARMA International and Autonomy in London on 9 February

Heightened oversight, explosive growth and complexity of information, along with the rapidly growing demands to comply with international laws and regulations are taxing organisations’ abilities to control valuable corporate information. How you manage your organisation’s records and information can have a huge impact on its success.


Join us at this meeting to find out about records management and information governance standards and best-practices, including the latest on GARP, Moreq 2010 and how to handle Web 2.0, from experts including Galina Datskovsky, President Elect at ARMA International, Jon Garde, Author of Moreq 2010 and Gavin Siggers, Director of ARMA’s European Region. There will also be plenty of networking opportunities and we hope you will join us for drinks after the event.

"Personal data - more use, more protection?", 19-20 May 2009

The European Commission organises a personal data use and protection conference to look at new challenges for privacy.

How should personal data be protected in a globalised world with increased mobility and in the wake of modern communication and information technologies and new policies? Which data is accessed and exchanged by public authorities and private companies? How well are current rules on international transfers of personal data working in a time of “cloud computing”? What are the expectations of individuals and business and society as a whole? These and other topical questions will be addressed by a conference on the use, exchange and protection of personal data in the EU, organised by the European Commission, which will take place in Brussels on 19 and 20 May 2009.

Interested individuals, business leaders, consumer associations, academics, data protection supervisors and public authorities from both the EU and third countries are invited to take part.
Among the speakers will be the Vice-president of the European Commission in charge of Justice, Freedom and Security, Mr Jacques Barrot.

The conference will give the opportunity to various stakeholders to express their views and questions on the new challenges for data protection and the need for an effective information management strategy in the EU. The conference is part of the Commission’s open consultation on how the fundamental right to protection of personal data can be further developed and effectively respected, in particular in the area of freedom, justice and security.
Interpretation will be provided in English, French and German.
