RIMPA Global Meets ARMA International At #InfoCon2022 In Nashville

BY JOANNE KANE

Feeding our appetite of global proportions, magic happened while Thomas Kaufhold Chair of the Board, Anne Cornish CEO of RIMPA Global, Independent Director Jeremey Manford and Joanne Kane Marketing, Events and Collaboration Manager attended the ARMA International convention #InfoCon2022 in Nashville, Tennessee 16-19 October 2022.

Held in the super-sized setting of the Gaylord Opryland Resort we all certainly got our step count in around the 75-acre property, which has more than 2800 rooms. For perspective the biggest hotel in Australia, Hyatt Regency in Sydney has only 888 rooms.

Apart from the opportunity to meet face to face with our global partners ARMA International, it was a chance to communicate, collaborate, and engage with our tribe across the globe.

With over 750 delegates, 40 plus trade exhibitors and a teeming program filled with rich content spanning a diverse range of subject matter plus many out of the box social networking gatherings both on and offsite, we were spoilt for choice on all counts throughout the convention.

The range of content delivered was fit for purpose with incredible similar practices, issues, concerns and triumphs affecting our cousins across the Pacific in the USA. From information governance, cybersecurity, big data, managing records at Microsoft, artificial intelligence, digital transformation strategy and our very own Anne Cornish CEO delivering a sensational and engaging session on increasing the profile of records and information management practitioners, there was plenty of opportunity to get down to business and immerse ourselves in educational sessions.

It didn’t stop with just the convention as we joined the ARMA International Board meeting, engaging in healthy discussions surrounding the formation of a global consortium to champion both the information governance and record management communities. In a series of focus groups led by Lowell Aplebaum, we opened the conversation and discussed the possibilities, the threats, the challenges and most importantly the opportunities that the creation of a global consortium would bring to not only RIMPA and ARMA but all over the world.

Stay tuned for more information surrounding the global movement that will bring RIMPA Global members even more opportunities to communicate, connect and collaborate with our industry!
