AIIM Conference & Expo Evolves Beyond Enterprise Content Management to Information Management Marketplace; Adds Information Technology Exhibitors and New Conference Content to Give Attendees Full Spectrum.

NEWTON, Mass. -- Questex Media Group, Inc. today announced that the AIIM Conference & Expo, the leading industry event for enterprise content management, has evolved beyond its content and document management roots to the information management market where structured and unstructured content converge.

The AIIM Conference & Exposition will be held May 15-18 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

The AIIM exhibit hall will provide the largest industry forum for attendees and hundreds of leading companies who will be demonstrating the hottest products and technologies. In response to the evolving technology focus, more than 50 companies will be exhibiting for the first time. Many of the new exhibitors are from the information management marketplace including: Bearing Point; Cognos; Business Objects; Information Builders; Google Enterprise; Microsoft; and Oracle.

The conference content has been expanded from six to nine concurrent educational tracks that examine the convergence of content and information management. Conference sessions include case studies, benchmark/industry studies, and panel discussions. New topics include: Enterprise Information Integration, Collaborative Technologies, Business Intelligence, as well as Enterprise Search and Portals.

The conference also includes tracks developed and delivered by analysts from Forrester Research and Ventana Research. Forrester's leading analysts will present two full days of information on portals, content and collaborative technologies. Ventana analysts have assembled a robust program designed to help attendees create real and measurable business value from their information assets.

"We are expanding the conference beyond its enterprise content management roots to expose attendees to the wider range of technologies that now encompass content and information management. We recognize that companies are no longer looking at 'silo' technologies to manage their structured and unstructured information; they're looking for solutions that enable improved information access, regardless of where that information exists or in what form it exists," said Christina Condos, group director, Technology Events for Questex. "This year's conference program builds on the traditional enterprise and document management challenges related to capturing, managing, sharing and storing information to also address the accessibility, sharing, analysis and use of enterprise content to improve organizational performance."

The AIIM Conference & Expo is the largest enterprise content and document management event showcasing the technologies and solutions that help align content and business processes in order to drive performance. For more than 50 years, it has attracted business professionals and executive management seeking the latest technologies to capture, manage, share, and store documents and digital content to support business processes, comply with governmental regulations, drive down costs, and gain the competitive advantage.
