PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION
A walk (hopefully full of entertainment and good memories) through the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery world from the 1980s through today. We’ll look at what we did in the past, what we are doing now, what has changed, and what has remained the same. In some cases, we ended up back where we started, in others, we are still seeking direction. We’ll be asking for audience sharing and some quick stories and recollections. The goal is for us to have a fun time reminiscing and a quick look at where we might end up.
