Thank you
On behalf of the Records Management Society I would like to thank all the delegates, speakers and exhibitors attending the 2009 Records Management Society Conference which, down to the involvement of all concerned, was a huge success.
We are already making plans for next year and would like to hear your views on what will make Manchester 2010 the best conference yet!

The Role of Mentorship in Distance Education and Training
This session will focus on the value of mentorship in archives and records management education and the problems that arise in this respect in the distance learning environment. James is an archives and records management trainer and has, himself, studied as a distance learning student. He will therefore be using anecdotal information from his own experiences, together with statistics gathered through a survey of students in the UK.
Choices and challenges: mid-career decisions for the records manager
We know what the rapid pace of change in Records and Information Management means for our organisational role but what does it mean for our professional lives and career development? As a mid-career records manager Claire will explore the typical issues (such as changing sectors, becoming self-employed, "up-skilling", finding a mentor) that will probably face most professionals at some point.
