  • Conferences and me for the end of 2007…

    Conference season is upon us in the Information Quality Community…

    At the end of September I’m off to Las Vegas to deliver a presentation at the IAIDQ’s North American conference the IDQ 2007 Conference.

    At the end of October I’m off to sunny London for the IRMUK Data Management and Information Quality Conferences. This will be my sixth year at this conference and my fourth as a presenter. This year I hit the ‘big leagues’ with a 3 hour tutorial on some of the legal aspects of Information Quality, going head to head with Larry English (amongst others)on the time table.

    Then in November the Irish CoP of the IAIDQ, the IQ Network will be hosting our IQ Forum… we’re planning it to co-incide with World Quality Day on the 8th of November to tie in with some IAIDQ events that will be taking place world wide.

    Who knows, maybe I’ll meet somebody from Dell at one of those conferences who might be able to fix my laptop problem before Christmas. 😉
    That would be nice.

  • IQ Trainwrecks.com

    The IAIDQ, an organisation I’m involved in for Information & Data Quality, has launched IQTrainwrecks.com as a resource to collate and comment on media stories highlighting the cost and impacts of non-quality information.

    Here’s an example of one of their posts. Our Electoral Register features there as do a few other stories. The IAIDQ team hope that this site will evolve into a focal point for informed comment on the real costs and impacts of poor information quality.
