IMCC (IMCanadaConnect) May Session
Are you a smaller organization? This is for you. Wednesday, May 27, 2026 12:00 CST Register Today, Most records and information management conversations in Canada focus on large, well-resourced organizations—but that’s not the reality for most. For every large organization, there are more than 40 smaller ones working with limited staff, competing priorities, and often a single individual who was handed responsibilities without a deep background in the RIM discipline. This May, IMCanadaConnect brings together a practical, no-nonsense panel discussion aimed squarely at this audience.
The session will focus on how-to guidance that actually works in constrained environments.
Including tips, proven shortcuts, and pragmatic approaches to achieving control of information without overengineering the solution.
Expect candid insights, real-world examples, and ideas you can take back and apply immediately, whether you’re building from scratch or trying to bring order to an already busy environment.
Bring your own views—this promises to be a lively conversation.
