The reality is that if records managers who manage, classify, retain and govern the information assets had any public relations at all, this conference would not have been necessary.  The fact that ARMA tried to jump in their saddle and ride along is hilarious.  A simple quote about “A rose by any other name, smells as sweet.” comes to mind.

Knowledge Management, Information Governance and other new entrants are really just organizations that are being developed by people who are unaware that ARMA even exists.  If ARMA was marketing to anybody but the records managers themselves, then all these organizations would be unnecessary as records management performs these core functions?  Or did records management become obsolete last year and I did not get the memo?
