Sync or Sink: Finding Flow in Times of Change
2026 Spring Online Forum: Sync or Sink: Finding Flow in Times of Change
Forum Overview
Change is inevitable, but chaos doesn't have to be. This Spring Online Forum was all about finding a “flow” that works, offering down-to-earth and practical strategies for teams that need to get big results without a massive budget.
The eight sessions presented in this one-day virtual Online Forum moved past high-level theory to focus on the “how-to” of modern archives and records management (like sharpening government workflows or mastering project management on a dime). Consider this your practical guide from hire to retire, introducing tools to keep your agency's information organized and accessible even as the workplace around you evolves.
Designed for government archivists, records managers, and information professionals at all career stages, this forum brought together people-, process-, and technology-focused sessions that reflected the realities of public-sector work. Whether you are strengthening soft skills, documenting workflows, managing Microsoft 365 environments, or exploring AI-enabled tools, this forum emphasized practical approaches you can apply immediately.
