  1. Can I ask why this even is scheduled concurrent with the ARMA International conference in Chicago? I know several records managers who would be interested in attending RACO, but will be at ARMA instead. In the future, could you possibly take other events into account when planning RACO?

  2. Rebecca, thanks for the comment. We do realize that the ARMA Annual Conference is closing on the 25th. Don Rosen, our Director of Policy Analysis and Enforcement will be attending ARMA and will be leading a Federal Roundtable on Sunday. The topics at the Roundtable are similar to those that will be presented at RACO this year. In addition, the RACO event will be streamed live and the video will be made available here on the blog. So, we understand that the schedules conflict this year, but hope that you will still watch the video to catch the information presented at RACO. For details, keep reading the blog.
