In other words, to their organizational health. It's up to us as a profession and as individual professionals to rise to the occasion and take our place on center stage. What will it take? You're about to find out. (These events will be held in the Las Vegas Hilton.)

Everything Is Miscellaneous
David Weinberger
The way we use information as organizations and individuals is changing almost as quickly as the volume of it is growing. The ordering of digital information is remaking business, education, politics, science, and culture. That's making managing that information more challenging than many can comprehend. It's changing all the rules. The way we've always done it may no longer be good enough. According to author David Weinberger, it's time to find a better way and records and information management professionals are the logical ones to lead the way. This discussion at times may be a little uncomfortable – okay, for some a lot uncomfortable – but it will definitely give you something to think about.

As an FBI spokesman, former Special Agent Lanza has participated in hundreds of television, radio, and newspaper interviews during his tenure, including appearances on The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Larry King Live, Hannity and Colmes and National Public Radio.
