Speakers
Presented By Rowena Loo
Using case studies and examples of digital and data recovery work, this presentation will explore how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s access to trusted records. In an environment filled with hidden risks, shifting technologies and the rapid rise of AI, information managers must preserve organisational knowledge with long‑term value in mind.
This session uncovers the growing complexity of the IM landscape and highlights the National Archives’ work to guide and equip practitioners on this journey. Together, we’ll examine how to protect vital information assets and ensure they remain discoverable, authentic and ready for the future.
