For those unfamiliar with the meeting structure of the IDMA Chapters,
discussions are quite informal and are geared towards audience interest
and participation. To get the ball rolling and focus discussions,
a list of topics for discussion is usually provided beforehand.
Topics of discussion are very fluid and can change during the meeting,
provided they involve data management, are in keeping with IDMA
guidelines, and are of interest to participants.
IDMA Chapter meetings attendees find these meeting very valuable
for content and networking as they address similar data management
challenges.
