FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AIIM Florida Chapter Expands Its Reach, Rebrands as AIIM Southeast + LatAm Chapter
Rebrand announced at AI+IM Global Summit reflects the chapter’s growing footprint across the U.S. Southeast and Latin America
BALTIMORE, MD — The Association for Intelligent Information Management (AIIM) Florida Chapter, one of the most active and longest-standing chapters of AIIM, today announced its rebranding as the AIIM Southeast + LatAm Chapter. The announcement was made today at the AI+IM Global Summit 2026, being held April 28–30 at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor.
The rebrand reflects the Chapter’s evolution from a Florida-centric organization into a regional hub serving intelligent information professionals across the U.S. Southeast and throughout Latin America and is proudly served by its Board of six directors from across multiple regions including South America. The Chapter has for years drawn attendees and participants from well beyond Florida’s borders, and the new name brings its official identity in line with the communities it already serves.
The AIIM Southeast + LatAm Chapter brings bilingual capacity to its programs, with three Spanish-speaking board members and a dedicated director focused on Latin American outreach. The expanded chapter will offer bilingual newsletters, regional events, webinars, and educational programming designed to give members outside of Florida a recognized regional home within the global AIIM network and through Chapter Sponsor companies.
Stated Craig Laue, AIIM Southeast + LatAm Chapter President and AIIM Fellow, "Now in its 36th year, The AIIM Florida Chapter continues to exceed expectations. And if you look at who's actually been showing up to our events and engaging with our programs, the truth is we've been a Southeast and Latin America chapter in practice for years. This rebrand is simply making official what our community already knows. For professionals across the region who've never had a true AIIM home, that changes today. We're proud to open the door wider and to bring AIIM's mission — and our bilingual capabilities — to professionals ready to excel and expand their knowledge of industry best practices via educational and information updates from Chapter Sponsor companies."
"One of AIIM's greatest strengths has always been our chapters and the people on the ground who bring this community to life in their own regions,” said Tori Miller Liu, CIP, AIIM President and CEO. “The Florida Chapter has exemplified that spirit for decades, consistently ranking among our most active and most innovative chapters worldwide. This expansion into the Southeast and Latin America is exactly the kind of bold, community-led growth we want to see. It gives information professionals across a vast and dynamic region a regional home, and it reflects AIIM's commitment to serving practitioners wherever they are in whatever language they need."
