New presentation on preservation of digital information

Yet another terrific presentation has been added to the program. Scroll down to "Applications for Preservation and Production in our Digital World" by Gavin W. Manes, Ph.D. Here is Dr. Manes' abstract...

This presentation is an overview of the preservation and production requirements for electronically stored information. Specifically, this presentation discusses laws, rules and regulations which apply to all companies and agencies, and how these companies can apply state of the art digital forensics processes to preserve, redact, and produce electronically stored information.
This presentation covers several topics including: location of digital evidence, acquisition and examination of the electronic information, existing uses for digital evidence, and the development of proper plans and procedures for preservation and production of all digital information.
It is important to make all professionals aware of the possibilities for evidence acquisition available through digital forensics and electronic discovery. In particular all professionals should know how these tools can be used as allowed by the Freedom of Information Act, current case law, and the 2006 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

New presentation

A presentation by Diane Hayes, Ph.D PMP, has been added to the conference program. The title of her presentation is "All I Need to Know About Intellectual Capital Best Practices I Learned in Kindergarten" and her topic description is:

Intellectual capital – the intangible assets of skill, experience, productivity, information, knowledge, infrastructure, and relationships – can be used to provide a source of competitive advantage. Set in the spirited context of what we learned in kindergarten, we will move beyond the attention traditionally given to project schedule, budget and quality. This presentation will connect the concepts of intellectual capital management with project management practices and techniques. You will take away recommendations, best practices and lessons learned that can be immediately put into practice.
