Hi Everyone, Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Seth Williams, the new president of the MER Conference. While you may have seen, the MER Conference has taken on both a new look and a reinvigorated commitment to delivering on excellence; focused on the issues and opportunities when managing electronic records from the legal, technical and operation perspectives. For those that know MER founder, Bob Williams, he remains as an important advisor to my team. You may also notice our #RecordsForHumanity campaign which is based on our firm belief that electronic records play a large role in not just business and government, but for the betterment of humanity as well. This year's conference will host 2 incredible keynotes on this topic. Monday will be Ashish Gadnis founder and CEO of BanQu, a company that is actively using Blockchain to enable "Dignity Through Identity" in far corners of the world. Tuesday will be Jones Lukose, PhD, Information Manager from the International Criminal Court, The Hague, Netherlands. Both use eRIM and IG principles and have breathtaking stories of their impact. Of course, this year we've got quite a full program of pragmatic topics like GDPR, Blockchain and the ever present Cloud. We also are hosting a FREE webinar on the new provisions with the Federal Rules or Evidence (FREs) and how they put the records manager center stage. This features the Hon. Paul Grimm. See our website www.merconference.com. There is a lot to talk about. Early-Bird pricing offers a $295 savings, but it ends January 31st. Thank you for enduring and welcoming me to RECMNT-L. I look forward to listening, learning and further serving this community. Kind Regards, Seth Seth F.
