Here are the IG/RM/DM/AI-related industry events and webinars I'm aware of for September 16 - December 31, 2026. I don't have anything to do with any of these from a planning perspective, so please reach out to the individual event producers with any questions.

Vendors, other associations, consultants, etc., your events are all welcome as long as the event is educational and not completely self-serving, e.g., no demos. If you are interested in listing your solution-specific webinar or event, please contact me about placing and highlighting your event. I also generally don't include purely social events with no educational component, or book review sessions.

If you know of a webinar or other event during this period that is focused on IG, RM, DM, AI, etc. that's not listed, let me know here or at jwilkins13@gmail.com.

If you're looking for a speaker, I may be available to speak at your chapter or event. I don't charge speaking fees to non-profit groups.

For more details, see https://informata.blogspot.com/2026/09/im-available-to-speak-at-your-meeting.html or email me at jwilkins13@gmail.com.

I'm Available to Speak at Your Meeting - 2026 Update

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse Wilkins) — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 19:45:17 +0000

By way of background, I've been speaking on information management-related topics since around 2000. I've been privileged to speak at AIIM 2003 - 2025, more than a dozen ARMA conferences, and more than 400 other events since 2003. I've also delivered a number of keynote sessions at conferences, user group meetings, and solution provider events.

Topics

Here are some topics that I'm very comfortable doing - I speak on them regularly, albeit with different nuances for different audiences. This is not an exhaustive list, just the things I've done more recently. If you don't see your topic or angle on the list, reach out to me anyway and we can discuss what you're looking for.

Keynote: Harnessing Your Information to Create Business Value

How to Improve Your Records Program with a Records Management Playbook
How to Build a Records Management Playbook

Professional Development for the Information Professional

How to Build Your Own Professional Development Plan

The Best Certifications for Records Managers

How to Select the Right Certification for You

Information Management Industry Certifications: An Overview

How to Manage Separating Employees' Information
Records Management in the Age of Privacy
Records Management and AI
Is Your Organization Ready for Artificial Intelligence?

Some of these can be done as half- or full-day seminars or workshops, complete with checklists, guidelines, templates, etc.

Delivery
Many organizations are moving back to in-person meetings, or at least hybrid ones. I am quite comfortable doing in-person events; I've also been doing live remote events since 2004. For remote, I have access to Zoom, Slack, Teams, Webex, Google, etc. and if you have a different platform I'll figure it out.

For in-person events, whatever venue you use, I can make work; I've spoken in auditoriums, conference rooms, bars, a bowling alley, and even Fenway Park and the Boston Zoo. I will bring my own laptop and presentation; if circumstances require that I use yours, I can do that as long as I know in advance so I can prepare accordingly. I will also send you the presentation in advance, and will generally give you permission to record the session and make available the presentation and any applicable handouts.

Fees and Scheduling
As has been the case for some time, I have decided to waive any speaking fees for local or regional events for non-profits like ARMA and AIIM chapters. For in-person events, even chapter meetings, I do need to recoup travel costs, but I'm a pretty cheap date (advance purchase coach air, reasonably accessible hotel, ground transportation) and I can provide receipts. I do require that I be allowed to use the name and logo of my employer, Opensity Solutions, but as I noted in a previous post, I do not "sell from the podium" and have a very dim view of those who do.

Solution providers and end user organizations? I'm available to speak at your events as well, but I do charge a fee and travel costs, with the fee based on the location, duration, and topic.
If you're interested, reach out to me at my permanent email address, jwilkins13@gmail.com, to discuss.

Right now I'm scheduling through June 2027. If you're interested in a half- or full-day seminar, please contact me sooner than later as I have a very limited amount of availability for those.

Finding Speakers for Your Information Governance Related Event - 2026 Update

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse Wilkins) — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 19:29:03 +0000

This post is based on my experiences as a public speaker for more than 20 years, and an AIIM and ARMA chapter leader off & on in the interim.

Most of what I will share probably isn't applicable if you're looking for a highly known and visible keynote like a professional athlete or entertainer, or if you're looking for a speaker for a huge audience. There are resources for those, including innumerable speakers bureaus, the National Speakers Association and Meeting Planners International. Rather, my focus is on connecting speakers in the information management industry with events, especially local ones, that need speakers on those topics.

So! When you're looking for a speaker for your event, there are a couple of things to consider.

What are you looking for?

What kind of meeting are you looking for a speaker for? Different speakers will have different comfort levels based on the size and type of audience. Some speakers are fantastic on panels, or facilitating, them, but don't like being the main attraction. Others can carry a 30-minute talk - or an all day seminar - by themselves.

Are you looking for someone to be on a panel, or facilitate one, or lead a breakout session, or deliver a keynote? Keynotes, in my opinion, are not just plenary sessions in front of a larger audience. Are you hoping for someone who can fill multiple spots at the same event - or even fill a full- or multi-day event by themselves?

What topic(s) are you looking for? If it's something mainstream, what's the twist that will make it interesting to your audience? If it's cutting edge, how cutting edge is it - that is, will your audience be interested, and can you find a speaker that can make it relatable?

What you should definitely be looking for:

Speakers who don't "sell from the podium." As a consultant for more than 20 years, and a vendor before that, I get it. Part of the reason many of us get into speaking is to drum up business. But it shouldn't be the primary reason, and definitely shouldn't be the only one. The consultant and vendor speakers I know that are effective know that people come to learn, not to hear about my "Add Water Heat & Eat Assessment Methodology(TM)" or RMSystem's world-changing release of Version 6.2.2. Service Pack A. I wrote more about vendor and consultant speakers in a previous post.

Speakers who are prepared. I take every single speaking opportunity seriously, whether it's a conference keynote or a virtual chapter meeting with 10 registrants. Your speakers should do the same, meaning that their contracts, their descriptions and bios, and their materials are on time. And yes, you should review them in advance to make sure they are meeting your audience's needs. They should be willing to do a dry run to make sure there are no technical issues, and this applies whether in person or virtually. It's your meeting and your audience. If they aren't willing to do these types of things, I'd take that has a huge red flag.

Speakers who are knowledgeable and engaging without being too broad or abstract, or too technical or in the weeds. This is sometimes a matter of opinion and can depend on the topic and format - keynotes are generally broad and aspirational, while a workshop should be fairly specific and technical if appropriate. The key is that the speaker aligns with your expectations.

Speakers who meet your budget! While many speakers volunteer their time, especially for non-profit-type activities like chapter meetings, they still have expenses and a day job. At a bare minimum I would expect an in-person event to cover reasonable travel costs: advance-purchase coach airfare, lodging, meals, and ground transportation. I generally don't charge speaking fees to chapters these days, at least for a typical 60-120-minute chapter meeting, but I generally do for longer sessions or for for-profit entities. Make sure you and your speaker are in alignment on this before someone buys plane tickets!

Where do you find speakers?

With all that in mind, where can you find speakers? I don't think it has to be as hard as you'd think. While there are a few dozen of us in the information governance space that seem to "make the rounds", I can give you a list of at least 100 speakers right now, including biographies and representative topics.

Where? If you looked at these sources going back just a couple of years, you could easily identify more than 100 speakers to pull from.

Conference speakers. AIIM, ARMA, and InfoGov World all have an annual conference. Their speakers are listed on the conference website - at least while the conference is being marketed, so even if you're not going, maybe take a look at the speakers and sessions. And these aren't the only ones - look at specialty groups too, like NAGARA for government or NIRMA for nuclear energy.
Chapter or regional event speakers. Of course you don't want to have, say, me, speak at your chapter every month or even every year. But the regional events in particular can be almost as rich a source as the annual conferences - ARMA Houston, ARMA ARMA New Jersey, and ARMA Metro NYC for example all have multi-speaker/multi-track and full- or multi-day events. The ARMA California and ARMA Southeast chapters also host full-day events with multiple speakers. And many chapters maintain archives of past events, so you can get a sense of their speakers and sessions. Another great option (from an anonymous commenter on the previous version of this post) is to reach out to a chapter where you know someone and ask them for referrals.
IM/IG-adjacent groups. Lots of people at PMI are doing and talking about interesting things. Same with IAPP. And ACEDS. And ILTA. And Georgia Records Association. And PRIMA. And the list goes on. They have chapters, and conferences, and regional confabs, and user groups, and so on.
Speakers for association webinars. An association might offer webinars anywhere from 1x/quarter to 1x/week. They are often end users; I'll talk about vendors and consultants separately shortly.
Chapter leaders or members working on interesting stuff. See who's doing something interesting that they are willing, and allowed, to talk about publicly. If they are not the best at public speaking, make it an interview. Get someone else working on something similar and make it a panel. I see lots of chapters this year that had meetings about a unique role, like a police records manager or zoo registrar, and/or offered tours. Note that this doesn't have to be you, and your project, at your company - what about the work your colleagues are doing that has some relevance?
Consulting firms. There are some really smart people that become consultants, and that broadens their perspective because instead of being a records manager or business analyst for this company, or even this industry, they are doing it across multiple companies and industries. Some of the best sessions I've ever attended have been delivered by consulting firms like Doculabs, Access Sciences (full disclosure - I worked there from 2007 - 2010), Infotechtion, and the like. Of course, due diligence and alignment of expectations is even more important here to make sure the session is not pitching their service offerings.
Vendors. Like consultants, vendors often bring a broader perspective; and like consultants, many vendors hire from the ranks of deep dive experts to support their solution offerings, so there is some real expertise to be had. But again, like consultants, you have to be careful to set expectations that a particular presentation is not to be a sales pitch. Case studies can be fantastic, but I'd set it up to require that an end user be involved and ideally be the one talking, with the solution provider relegated to a supporting role (and same by the way with consultant case studies). I am also pretty leery of vendor speakers whose job title includes CEO, product marketing, product management, marketing, or sales. I know some fantastic speakers with those titles, but the most sales-y presentations I've ever heard - the ones I've walked out of at conferences - generally come from them.

In short, there are lots of speakers out there, and many of them are happy to share their time and energy for low or no cost. If you absolutely cannot seem to make headway in finding a speaker, reach out to me and I'd be happy to try to help - and I don't mean just as a speaker.

Turing Post #2: The Unsexy Truth of AI Adoption

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse Wilkins) — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:40:00 +0000

There is no shortage of maturity models. Gartner has one. McKinsey has one. Deloitte has one. Most of them place organizations on a neat timeline: you are here, then you move there.

But AI maturity is not just a sequence of stages. It is a stack of dependencies. Each layer rests on the one below it. You cannot build the fourth layer if the second one is unstable. You can pretend otherwise, of course. Plenty of companies do. That is how you get pilots that look impressive in a demo and then disappear within six months.

Reworked: AI Agents are Only as Smart as Your Worst Process Documentation

noreply@blogger.com (Jesse Wilkins) — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:13:00 +0000

Behind any AI agent deployment is an implicit question: can you describe, completely and without contradiction, how your processes work?

Every AI agent pitch has a hidden assumption: that organizations know how their processes work. Most don't.

Process documentation is notoriously poor in most enterprises: outdated, incomplete or found only in the heads of people who have since left. That is not a technology problem. It is an organizational one. An agent can only do work it can be taught to do. Teaching requires a clear process to follow. And in most enterprises, that description either doesn't exist, can't be agreed on or bears little resemblance to what happens.
