Keep your finger on the pulse of Intelligent Information Management with industry news, trends, and best practices.
My name is Sean, and I used to find professional networking terrifying. The thought of it would make me cringe. I can remember being fresh out of college and attending a networking event with the hope of establishing some connections that could possibly lead to a job. Well, those were VERY high hopes, as I spent most of the night nervously hanging out by the food area awkwardly trying to engage anyone who went near the crab cakes. Needless to say, I didn't end up with a job offer that night. But, I did come to the realization that networking is not going away, and I could either keep being socially awkward, or I dedicate myself to developing this skill. With The AIIM Conference quickly approaching, I thought I'd share my best tips for networking so you can make the most of your time, when you'll be surrounded by 650 information professionals.

AIIM takes great pride in being an active member of our community. We’re always trying to find new ways to give back - we have staff volunteer days, make donations to charity for responses to our surveys, and have given our time at homeless shelters, food kitchens, working farms, charity runs/walks and clothing drives. Now, we want to get YOU involved in the giving during The AIIM Conference.

The 5 Reasons You'll Want to Attend: The weather! Escape the polar vortex to beautiful San Diego. The Manchester Grand Hyatt has a fabulous pool with a stunning ocean view of the marina.

Party on an aircraft carrier. We're throwing a celebration on the USS Midway for all AIIM15 attendees to hang out and get to know one another. (Yes, there will be free drinks!) Go on a safari, have breakfast with a koala, and swim with a polar bear. We’re just minutes away from the San Diego Zoo. (Just, you know, don’t play hooky from AIIM15!)
