 Focus on Subsidiary Governance:
The 2007 World Records User Conference
October 17-19 in San Diego, California
As professionals in the Office of the Corporate Secretary or General Counsel, your role keeps changing and you've turned to the World Records® application to help you keep up with the demands.
This year, the Computershare World Records Annual Conference goes west with 2 and a half days of informative sessions, panel discussions, and workshops that will help you dive deeper into the world of corporate record keeping. With presentations from World Records staff, you'll pick up tips and "how to" information about using specific functions in the application. You'll explore how others are using the World Records solution to meet the regulatory requirements of today's subsidiary governance.
Highlights include an open Question & Answer Forum with a select panel of World Records experts, sessions that focus on Advanced Reporting functions whether you're a beginner or seasoned report generator, and an overview of some of the new functionality to come.
