You can register now to attend the conference for free, but you don’t have to be a passive audience member: you can volunteer to get involved as a speaker or become a sponsor of the conference.

The conference is for those working across the built and managed environments who are interested in bringing about digital change and achieving business improvement using information management. More than 2,500 people registered for last year’s conference.

The conference will mark a year since the launch of the IMI. It will be staged on a new platform that is more immersive than previous editions. The agenda includes two keynote presentations, a trio of head-to-head conversations, six panel discussions, six networking rooms and a virtual cafe. The panel discussions are titled as follows:

Why change? The increasing importance of information management

The drivers of change? The commercial imperative

How to achieve change using the IMI

Why we are planning a standard approach to the creation of accessible information management

Measuring change: how nima plans to collate metrics about information maturity and the benefits it brings on behalf of industry

What should nima do to help educate people about information management and who should be educated first?

Nima said: “The conference is designed for full participation in an immersive environment, where real progress is made through meeting peers, experts, collaborators and customers, both old and new, from the UK and beyond. This is your opportunity to network, share opinion and be at the very heart of all things information management.”

Conference sponsors are Bluebeam, Egnyte and Morta. DC+ is a media partner.

Nima chair Dr Anne Kemp OBE said: “Nima can only drive the urgently needed improvements in information management by listening to and learning from industry. So please get involved in the conference and support the IMI. You and your business can do this by being part of the conference, either as a speaker and/or a conference sponsor. Without you we can’t make change happen.”
