Virtual Conference

Since 1967, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has provided the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. Federal agencies are required to disclose the information requested under the FOIA, unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.

In recent years, federal agencies have been inundated with FOIA requests creating challenges for agency FOIA professionals tasked with processing these requests. Automating the FOIA process can help ensure timely records and responses to agency FOIA requestors by reducing repetitive and burdensome tasks. This virtual conference will review available digital solutions that enable agencies to speed responses and enhance constituent engagements while maintaining compliance with all regulations.
