Thanks to the 2020-Effect, our public records dragons grew three new heads: COVID-19, civil unrest, and future uncertainty, which has resulted in a whole new level of chaos. With little warning, government data sharing has become more important than ever, putting state and local Public Record Departments on the front lines. 

 

We will be joined by Microsoft and the Denver Regional Transportation District on Tuesday, December 8 at 2 pm EST to provide insight into how you can transition to the next “age” – suiting you up with the knowledge to successfully battle these new dragons. 

 

Topics Covered Include: 

 

  • Revisiting pre-2020 dragons: Complexity, Legislation, Litigation

  • New dragons, new layers of chaos

  • How Denver RTD goes to battle

  • Becoming a superhero for your organization
