In every geographical area of the world, there are disasters created by humans and nature. While each organization plans for evacuating buildings, protecting people and property, the same care, and attention to planning should be placed on the records of the organization. If information is an important asset, the planning for the protection of this asset prior to a disaster is paramount.
Takeaways

For Valentine's Day 2022, the Heart Bottoms team explored spreading love with Valentine's Day Cards connected to the Blockchain [with non-fungible tokens or NFT's].We asked the public, "Are NFT's good or bad?" The answer was, overwhelmingly, "bad." With that start, Peter Smith will set out to make NFT's more palatable to a general audience, all the while demonstrating how Blockchain works in an unconventional way. This talk discusses the project and what the team learned.

Records Requests in the time of the Pandemic and Beyond
Join Jennifer Snyder and Matt Russell from GovQA as they present findings on the influx of complexity and volume of electronic informational requests during the time of the pandemic and beyond. GovQA has recently conducted a study of over 250 different state and local governments and has measured anonymized data on a quarterly basis, which has produced jaw dropping evidence of new complexities that didn't exist 5 years ago in the way people request information and exchange data. During the presentation GovQA will go over how this statistically significant data can be used to understand the mechanics of the public records process; data management best practices, assess the impact of significant events on information sharing; forecast the future state of the industry; and support tech investments to streamline workflows. For those interested in learning more, a brief demo will be available after the presentation.
