Posted June 3, 2015

The 60th Annual ARMA Conference & Expo will take place at the Gaylord National Harbor in Washington, DC from October 5-7. This year, the conference promises to deliver even more opportunities to network and catch up on the latest issues affecting ARMA members.

The ARMA International Educational Foundation (AIEF) is sponsoring a poster session at the conference to showcase individual or institutional research management or administrative best practices, highlight new developments, or display your research in the sector and share with the wider information management community.

Individual posters may describe applied or theoretical research that is completed or underway that pertains to information management. Submissions should focus on research or activity conducted within the previous fiscal year (2014-2015).

Region or Chapter posters may describe region or chapter activities, events, and/or other involvement with the information management profession. A single representative should coordinate the submission of each Region or Chapter proposal.
