IIMA

Wow – time flies! It was two months ago that we met in New York and celebrated the 30^th annual conference of the International Information Management Association (IIMA) at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY.  Many thanks to our hardworking colleagues from Iona: Shoshanna, Ore, Heechang, Alison and many others, for planning and putting together an enriching and exciting conference.   Thanks also to Diana for continually managing our website and the conference registration process.

Here are some of my memories and recollections (and I have more…but that would make this recap way too long!):

The Mission of The International Information Management Association

The International Information Management Association was founded in 1989, with the mission to provide a unique blend of high-quality academic research combined with social interaction.

During the conferences, it is not unusual for every IIMA member to attend all paper presentations. This combination of academic excellence and friendly interaction creates a collegial atmosphere that is usually missing from other conferences. The majority of our members know each other on a first name basis and regularly communicate and collaborate throughout the year. If you choose to join us at one of our conferences, you will immediately notice the difference.

Why attend IIMA?
For academic researchers, this is a great chance for discovering new research directions, interacting with other researchers and professionals. For students, this is a great time for learning latest technology and research trends and finding job opportunities. For industrial professionals, this is a wonderful opportunity for inspiring new ideas, recruiting students, and networking with researchers.
