This year, the conference will focus on five strands &#8211; Artificial Intelligence; Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and G-Suite; Sustainability and Environmental Impact; Knowledge Management and Data Governance; Professional Development and Practical Skills \u2013 with 50 speakers from the public and private sectors including the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office, Microsoft and Google Workspace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_2075-300x200-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8344\" style=\"width:242px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_2075-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_2075-300x200-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>IRMS Conference Director, Paulina Jedwabska, comments: \u201cMany people working in information and records management are burdened with a great deal of responsibility, yet are not part of large teams, making it difficult to access good advice and to learn from the experiences of others. This is especially true for young people entering the industry.\u201d Jedwabska adds: &#8220;As an industry, we also need to do more to promote inclusivity and diversity, by raising awareness of the many different career opportunities and the support that is available. This is why each year we set aside fully funded bursary places.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bursary place is worth \u00a31,499+VAT and includes access to all IRMS conference sessions, food and refreshments, evening social events, and two nights B&amp;B accommodation at the Hilton Birmingham (NEC) hotel. Delegates will need to cover their transport costs to and from the conference. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recipient of an IRMS bursary in 2024 commented on the experience: &#8220;I knew that the IRMS Conference would be a great opportunity to meet new people, learn about emerging trends in the records management profession, and to improve my skill set. Everyone should attend an IRMS conference at least once.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The deadline for bursary applications is&nbsp;Friday 28th February 2025.
