EVENT DESCRIPTION
Building on the success from the last three events, which have collectively attracted over
1300 participants, this year’s iteration is opening its doors to the greater public service
across Ontario and Canada by instituting a “Community Based” approach to the
development of the learning program.
Originally hosted by the Office of the Chief Information and Privacy Officer of Ontario,
this year we are pleased to announce that it will be co-hosted and developed by:
• Office of the Chief Information and Privacy Officer of Ontario
• City of Toronto
• ARMA NCR
• Professional Learning Centre, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto
• Ontario Government Libraries Council
• Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario
The focus for this year’s conference will be “Shaping the New Information Space”, a
space that is constantly changing. In order to meet the challenges of IM today and
tomorrow the various IM related communities across the Public Sector are recognizing
that they must expand their horizons and network of resources to achieve the potentially
monumental task of Shaping their New Information Spaces. Taking a “community based”
approach to the development of this event will:
• Improve overall content
• Increase potential learning/professional development opportunities for
participants
• Increase networking opportunities, especially outside of one's current
organization
• Ensure events such as this remain financially accessible for participants
Through industry experts’ presentations and discussions of real life scenarios, a clearer
vision of issues, methodologies, solutions and opportunities will be revealed.
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
The conference Agenda Planning Committee has started to develop the program for this
event. In a constant effort to ensure the program is current and relevant, the Agenda
Planning Committee would like to invite individuals to submit proposals for presentations
