Please join us for our upcoming Ask the expert session on August 6th. This Ask The Expert session will be a groundbreaking one — both from a content and presentation style perspective.

IAIDQ & UALR recently concluded an industry benchmark: "The State of information and Data Governance Report", the results of which have already been published on our website. This session will give you an opportunity to interact with the primary authors of this study and ask deeper probing questions.

As a forward leap from prior Ask the expert events, we will be using a webinar based format to host this session. To enable better interaction of the audience with our Information Quality Experts, be sure to submit your questions in advance to either of the moderators:
