We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 16th Information Records
Management Society Conference, which will be held from Sunday 19th
to Tuesday
21st
May 2013, in Brighton.
The Information and Records Management Society (IRMS) reflects the workings of all members
and partners of the Society. Now celebrating its 30th
year, we boast well over 1,000 members
from across the globe.
Our Theme for the 2013 conference is Big Data, Open Data: the challenges for the Information
and Records Management Professional. The way in which data is stored and managed is evolving
at a faster rate than ever before. This hot topic will look specifically at how the data we store and
use in information and records management is changing, what we can expect in the future and the
risks and ramifications that this presents to the work we carry out every day. We are looking for
sponsors and exhibitors who will enhance this message to our key audience – a mix of private and
public sector practising records and information managers. Also well represented in the IRMS
membership are the supplier community: Consultants, EDRM/ECM vendors and integrators,
record storage specialists, disaster recovery and business continuity specialists, training and
education providers and publishers.
In a return to the ever popular sunny South East coast of England – The IRMS Conference 2013 will
take place on the Brighton seafront, at the Brighton Hilton Metropole – Sunday 19th to Tuesday
21st
May 2013.
As well as being an ideal venue to host the IRMS conference you can walk down the original 1890’s
marble staircase of Hilton Brighton Metropole, and out into the chic boutique-lined streets of
central Brighton, into the historic area of Brighton Lanes, the sea front and along the pier.
Brighton is an ideal venue in May, away from the hubbub of London, yet under one hour from the
capital, and 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport, and we know from past experience that delegates
are delighted “to be beside the seaside”.
