Aloft and Element Dallas Love FieldABOUT THE EXCHANGE / AI Governance in Practice in Dallas
AI governance is no longer a future initiative. It's becoming part of the everyday work of information management professionals.
AI Governance in Practice is designed for information leaders who are being asked to take on AI governance responsibilities and need practical guidance they can apply immediately. As organizations accelerate AI adoption, information professionals are being called on to define governance responsibilities, build AI inventories, assess risk, and establish policies that ensure AI is used responsibly and effectively.
This complimentary AI+IM Regional Exchange brings these conversations to life through expert discussion, peer learning, and practical examples inspired by AIIM's new Operational AI Governance for Information Leaders course series, developed in partnership with RecordPoint. Together, we'll explore how organizations are preparing for AI and share practical approaches that help turn governance concepts into everyday practice.
Every attendee will receive access to the complete five-course Operational AI Governance for Information Leaders series through AIIM+ Pro, extending the learning beyond the event with hands-on training, templates, and tools you can use in your organization. Learn more about these courses.
You'll leave with practical strategies, fresh perspectives from your peers, and greater confidence to lead AI governance in your organization.

AI+IM REGIONAL EXCHANGE SCHEDULE
Welcome Remarks & Introductions
A brief welcome from your AIIM host, an overview of the program, and how to access the five-course online series that goes deeper on everything covered today.
Fireside Chat
A short conversation between your host and today's speaker on what AI governance actually asks of information leaders, and how the day's five topics fit together.
1. Who owns AI governance?
Where the IM leader's role begins and ends when AI governance lands on the desk, and how it differs from what IT, legal, risk, and security own. You'll compare notes on where ownership is clear in your organization and where the gaps are.
2. Building your AI inventory
What a workable AI inventory looks like, including prompts and agents as assets worth tracking. You'll talk through where you'd start and what would be hardest to pin down.
3. AI Risk Triage
A practical way to size up the risk of an AI use case across impact, data sensitivity, and autonomy. You'll apply it to a real example from your own work and discuss who needs to be in the room for that call.
4. Evidence, Audit, and Output Governance
When an AI output becomes a record you have to manage, and what it takes to show later how something was produced. You'll examine where AI-generated content goes in your organization today and what's missing.
5. Sustaining AI Governance
What it takes to keep governance running after the initial setup: monitoring, incident response, and a 90-day improvement plan. You'll identify one realistic change you could make in the next quarter.
Synthesis
Your facilitator pulls together the themes that surfaced across the day's discussions and points you to where each topic goes deeper in the online course series.
Closing Remarks
Final thoughts from your AIIM host, details on the post-event survey, and how to activate your complimentary 30-day access to the full course series.
TESTIMONIALS / Hear From Our Community
The content wasn't theory. We covered the practical stuff: real use cases, AI implementations, M365 challenges with an engaged audience of practitioners who wanted to dig into what works and what doesn't. No fluff, just actionable insights. tending AIIM forums has accelerated our digital transformation journey significantly. The quality of speakers and the depth of expertise in the room is unmatched. I always leave with new connections and practical knowledge that directly impacts our information strategy.

by Emma Thompson, Records Manager
One of the best AI governance courses I've taken. AIIM does an excellent job explaining not only what AI governance is, but who owns it and how Information Management leaders can drive success through strong governance and operational excellence. Highly recommended for anyone responsible for information, compliance, or governance programs. Kudos to AIIM International and RecordPoint!
