Event Details
Monday, October 17th, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
You're invited to an exclusive federal government briefing highlighting IDC research findings on Open Government and the Freedom of Information Act.
As Federal agencies implement their open government plans, they are responding to transparency requirements that require not only the posting of data that is relevant and useful to the public, but also administrating new FOIA initiatives. These FOIA initiatives should be administered with the presumption of openness, and in the "face of doubt, openness prevails." Join a select group of Government professionals to share challenges and lessons learned around Open Government and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Learn strategies to uncover new efficiencies and reduce costs in managing this new directive:
- Impact of FOIA and open government plans on government organizations
- Best practices for record identification and public posting
- Steps agencies are taking to apply the presumption of openness and increase proactive disclosure
- Ensure that your system for responding to requests is effective and efficient
- Reduce backlogs and improve timeliness in responding to requests
Lunch will be provided.
