2026-04-21 15:00 - 16:00 UTC
ILTA Masterclass:

Information governance is often viewed as a compliance exercise or an extension of records management. Increasingly, it is also being recognised as a foundation for efficiency, innovation, and modern ways of working.
This educational webinar on April 21st, (11am EST / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET) will provide a practical introduction to information governance, explaining what it is, how it differs from records management, and why it has become a priority.
We will also explore the growing shift in perspective: How strong information governance supports progress rather than restricting it.
Designed for firms at the start of their information governance journey. or those without a dedicated information governance team, this session will focus on clarity rather than complexity. Attendees will gain a shared understanding of information governance, why it matters now, and how better-governed information enables efficiency, reduces friction, and supports future initiatives such as AI.
This is the 1st in a 3 part series and will be followed by:

From intent to action: Building and delivering an information governance strategy that works

Making the case for information governance: Securing buy-in and demonstrating value
