CGOC to Host Executive Summit on Information Policy Management
A Unique and Exclusive Opportunity to Engage with Leading Experts in Compliance and Information Management Policies
Palo Alto, California, January 12, 2005 — The Compliance, Governance & Oversight Council (CGOC) today announced the CGOC 2005 Executive Summit, the first in a series of executive events to be held in 2005, created to help executives meet the ever-increasing challenges of information policy management, electronic discovery, and litigation risk. The invitation-only CGOC 2005 Executive Summit takes place January 27-28 in New York City, and will feature the nation’s foremost legal experts who will offer their perspectives on how to ensure organizations are effectively and efficiently meeting their business, legal and governance obligations — today and in the future.
The CGOC 2005 Executive Summit is a unique opportunity for executives responsible for establishing, overseeing and implementing information management policies to get the level of information and interaction they need to set the standards for retention, legal holds and discovery policies and practices in their organizations. Featured speakers include distinguished experts from the legal firms Skadden Arps, Kaye Scholer, Hunton & Williams and Weil Gotshal, as well as a special presentation by Marilyn Bota, legal operations executive at Genworth. The guidance and insights of these speakers will be complemented by special interest groups that will convene at the event and continue to meet and communicate throughout the year.
“Over the past two years, the law of electronic discovery has developed dramatically and the changes will accelerate in 2005 and 2006. With the increase in electronic information, as well as the frequency of demands for that information in the course of investigations and lawsuits, it’s essential that companies understand their obligations and address them efficiently and effectively, " said Adam Cohen, Partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges and the co-author of Electronic Discovery: Law and Practice. “There are real business and legal benefits of effective retention and information management policies, and the CGOC Summit and PSS Systems provide excellent means for corporate executives to learn effective ways to balance the obligations, costs, and benefits.”
The CGOC 2005 Executive Summit takes place January 27-28 at the Kaye Scholer Conference Center in New York City. Featured sessions include:
