I'm just a beginner. Is this seminar too advanced?

That's just great. You'll find that the information presented at the seminar is geared to novices as well as veterans. And you won't be alone; 38% of our attendees are at the very beginning stages of ECM exploration and are looking for information and solutions like you.

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

ECM vendors help to subsidize the Solutions Seminar so that AIIM can bring you a quality 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 an exhibitor?

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?
