Managing Information in the Social, Local, and Mobile Era

Top 11 Reasons to Attend The AIIM Conference 2012 (because 10 reasons aren't enough)

  1. San Fran is one of the great cities of the world: the Golden Gate Bridge, Ghirardelli chocolate, Street Cars, Lombard Street; plus, maybe you can coax that one co-worker into a cell at Alcatraz . . . and then leave.
  2. LEARN from your peers and other smart people who, like you, are making social business and maximizing the use of content a reality.
  3. Because it's AIIM. We're back . . . and better than before – and we were good then.
  4. Affirmation. Your users see Facebook and Google and ask you why it's not that simple in the office. You know it's hard to make things that easy. So does everyone else attending this event.
  5. Misery loves company. Budget cuts. Do more with less. The above-mentioned end users. It's always good to know you're not alone.
  6. Connections. You see the names (and tiny pics) on Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter. As good as those tools are for exchanging ideas and "meeting" people; putting names and faces together IRL (as the kids like to say) is still fun. Even for those of us shy and retiring types. Plus, there's still no such thing as an after-hours virtual beer.
  7. Network and Serendipity: You never know who you're going to bump into. That person you talk to over caffeine at breakfast or the question asked during the Q & A times might just be the spark of inspiration or tidbit of knowledge you need to solve a problem back in the office.
  8. Social. What is it and why should I care? Find out and, more importantly, why it matters for YOUR business.
  9. Smarter than the average bear. Amaze your colleagues; and the guy that is responsible for your raises. Return home with insights and knowledge from speakers on the leading edge of BOTH social and ECM – and how those intersect.
  10. Because you're an Information Professional and this event is designed for you.
  11. Mo' Money. Content/documents/data/information/forms – whatever you want to call the bits and bytes your organization relies on for success and that are at the center of your business. Learn and discuss how to use those more efficiently and effectively.
