How Long to Save Chats, Messages, Recordings, Prompts, Emails, and Other Odds and Ends
From chat tools and collaboration platforms to voice recordings, emails, and AI prompts, organizations are generating more “odds and ends” of information than ever before. But how long should these materials be retained, and when is it safe to defensibly dispose of them? In this webinar, Tom Mighell of Contoural will explore practical retention strategies for emerging and unconventional content types, including:
- Determining if chats, texts, and prompts are official records
- Balancing regulatory, legal, and business requirements with storage costs
- How long to keep messages, emails, and recordings—and when to delete them
- Aligning policies across platforms like Teams, Slack, Zoom, and AI tools
- Avoiding common pitfalls and lessons learned from real-world programs
You’ll come away with actionable insights to reduce risk, control costs, and create defensible retention rules for these growing categories of information

Charity Event:
We are partnering with Hope Supply Co. this December for a Diaper Drive.
One baby requires at least 10 diapers a day to stay clean and dry. That's at least 300 diapers a month. One in two families struggles with diaper need: simply not being able to afford enough clean diapers to keep baby healthy.
Support homeless and at-risk children by donating diapers and wipes at our Monthly Meeting, December 9th!
Lunch (Buffet opens at 11:30am)
- Buffet includes green leaf salad, meat entrée, starch (e.g. potatoes or rice), vegetables and dessert.
*Late registrants and walk-in attendees are not guaranteed a meal.
