AI+IM REGIONAL EXCHANGE
Ottawa, ON

For this event, an information management practitioner is someone who works inside an end-user organization to manage, govern, protect, organize, retain, or improve the use of that organization’s information and data.

This may include professionals working in records management, information governance, compliance, legal operations, privacy, data governance, knowledge management, enterprise content management, automation, AI readiness, or related functions.

This event is designed specifically for practitioners within end-user organizations. It is not intended for consultants, vendors, solution providers, software companies, service providers, or organizations that sell, implement, or advise on information management technology or services. We appreciate your understanding as we maintain a practitioner-focused environment for open discussion, peer learning, and real-world problem solving.

The Ottawa Conference and Event Centre is located just a few minutes east of downtown Ottawa, making it a convenient and accessible venue for attendees traveling from across the city and beyond. The venue is close to the VIA Rail train station, with easy access to OC Transpo bus service (routes 9 Hurdman and 9 Downtown stop right outside the door), Ottawa's LRT network, and nearby highway access via the Queensway.

Its location places attendees close to hotels, restaurants, and local attractions, including Parliament and the national museums, all less than 10 minutes away, making it easy to arrive, connect, and make the most of your time at the event.

Getting There
Attendees arriving by public transit can take OC Transpo bus routes 9 Hurdman or 9 Downtown, which stop directly outside the Centre. Those driving into the city will find complimentary on-site parking, with 515 underground spaces and 300 additional overflow spaces. We recommend allowing extra travel time during peak downtown traffic hours.

This is a complimentary event with limited capacity. To ensure as many members of the community as possible can participate, we ask that you cancel your registration as soon as possible if you are no longer able to attend.

Because attendance is limited to 25 participants, cancellations received in advance allow us to offer your place to someone on the waitlist. 

Thank you for helping us make the best use of the available spaces and for being considerate of fellow community members who may wish to attend.

Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and a willingness to engage with your peers. We recommend bringing a notebook or laptop if you'd like to take notes, along with plenty of questions and real-world challenges to discuss with fellow information and data professionals.

The AI+IM Regional Forum is designed to be interactive, so you'll get the most value by actively participating in conversations, sharing experiences, and learning from others in the room.

No. The AI+IM Regional Exchange is designed as an interactive, in-person experience that encourages open discussion, peer-to-peer learning, and meaningful networking. Throughout the day, attendees participate in conversations, ask questions, and share real-world challenges and experiences that are often best suited to a live environment.

By not recording the session, we create a space where participants can engage freely, connect with their peers, and stay fully present in the discussion. We encourage attendees to take notes, exchange contact information, and make the most of the opportunity to learn directly from fellow practitioners and experts in the room.
