Electronic records management is a major focus
of many archival and records management conferences at local, national
and international levels. As records professionals continue to seek out
effective educational resources on electronic records, they are frequently
faced with limited travel and/or professional development dollars to
access these resources. Often it becomes a tough choice as to which
conference or set of conferences will provide the best educational
opportunities as well as the all-important chance to network with others

at one's particular professional conference to attend a specialty
conference. MER is one such conference and is considered by many in both
professional communities as 'the one' to attend.
