3rd ARMA International Roundtable on Information Governance and Records Management in Europe

ARMA International hosted its 3rd Roundtable on Information Governance and Records Management in Brussels, Belgium on 7 November 2008. As in previous years, the goal of this exclusive annual meeting was to bring together law and policy makers, relevant stakeholders, technology providers, and records and information management professionals to discuss the latest trends and issues related to information management that are on the policy and legislative agenda in the European Union and beyond. Special attention was given to issues regarding compliance in multiple jurisdictions.

The 2007 Roundtable dealt with corporate governance, data protection, transparency and litigation issues and was considered very successful by the 85 delegates it attracted.
