LEE'S SUMMIT, MO / ACCESSWIRE / September 15, 2023 / During the recent ARMA Canada Conference, ARMA International's CEO Nate Hughes, announced exciting plans for the launch of the InfoNext Conference, an MER and ARMA Partnership. InfoNext, formerly the MER Conference, will be held April 2024 in Palm Springs, CA and will be an integral part of ARMA annual event lineup. With decades of experience between ARMA and MER, this new event will draw on the heritage of both organizations to field a richer, more coordinated, and collaborative approach to education and IG program development.
'The InfoNext Conference will be just a piece of the puzzle of the integrated offerings we plan to roll out over the next year,' said Nathan Hughes, CEO of ARMA International. 'Given ARMA's focus on records and information management, InfoNext will focus more heavily on thought leadership, future trends, and new technology in the information governance landscape. The partnership between the two organizations to collaborate will provide information governance professionals additional educational opportunities.'
Mike Salvarezzi who has joined ARMA International from MER said, 'There is a great benefit to the industry of ARMA coming together with MER to create InfoNext. We have collaborated on a lot of things over the years, and I think bringing these two organizations together is an absolute win for the community. The future of Information Governance starts at InfoNext Conference.'
The benefits of this partnership for the IG community will be accelerated with this collaboration and will include online webinars through the year and three leading conferences:
'We believe that strategy and implementation are both essential to an effective IG program. With this partnership, we are striving to focus more attention on strategy at InfoNext while enhancing the implementation focus at ARMA InfoCon and our other events,' added Hughes. 'The benefits of such a close partnership are the fact we now can develop coordinated incentives or discounts for conference attendees and Solution Providers. As we co-develop the conference agendas and experiences, they will be tailored for specific target audiences. This will better equip our Solution Provider community to select and participate in either, both or all our events in the future.'
In 2018 the MER Conference expanded to include a robust series of year-round webinars under the brand MER Sapient™. They announced a further expansion in 2020 scheduling day-long deep dive events focused on a singular pressing issue with accompanying solutions under the brand MER Immerse™. Recently, MER Conference introduced MER Merlin™: industry-defining market research reports and custom thought-leadership content. IG professionals and solution providers alike trust the MER brand for its integrity, highly relevant, non-commercial content. The MER community includes the best, brightest and most change-oriented leaders in the industry.
