I thought AIIM was vendor neutral. What role do the vendors play at the Seminars?

Our vendor sponsors help to subsidize the AIIM Seminars so that we can bring you a quality educational experience at no charge. In exchange for their sponsorship, AIIM provides them with an opportunity to demonstrate their products to you. They understand that we will arm you with tough questions as educated consumers.

What questions should I ask a sponsor?

Don't by shy. Walk right up and ask some questions. We suggest that these three should be included:

  • How can your products help me get my information under control?
  • What would you say is your biggest strength as a provider?
  • Who are some of your clients and what have you done for them?
