The Joint National Conference of the ASA & the RMAA 2 to 5 September 2001 Hotel Grand Chancellor, Hobart Tasmania, Australia

CONVERGENCE 2001
Record keeping in a Digital Age

On behalf of the Records Management Association of Australia and the Australian Society of Archivists, we invite you to participate in our joint national conference to be held in Hobart, Tasmania from 2 - 5 September 2001. The conference will be held in Tasmania’s latest and most exciting venue, and the home of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, at the Hotel Grand Chancellor.

Preparations for the conference in Hobart are proceeding at an ever-increasing pace and we have already received over 250 registrations from delegates in addition to excellent support from both sponsors and exhibitors.

The exhibition will be officially opened on Sunday 1 September 2001 at a welcoming cocktail party to be held in the Exhibition hall. Meals and coffee breaks throughout the convention will also be within the exhibition area, providing maximum exposure for informal contact with delegates.

Presentation Area

As an additional benefit to exhibitors, the organising committee is offering specific and advertised times during the program to speak about and explain their products. As the number of sessions is limited preferences will be allocated very strictly on a "first-come" basis, so if you are interested in participating please contact us as soon as you possibly can.

A space with seating will be allocated in the exhibition hall for this purpose and a data projector and screen will be available for those wishing to bring their laptops along to make an electronic presentation.

If you are interested in participating or need any further information please don't hesitate to contact Mike or Beth at Convention Wise.

The conference, which is expected to attract upwards of 600 delegates, including some from overseas, will have as its theme "Convergence 2001 - Recordkeeping in a Digital Age", and will cover the issues surrounding electronic records such as distributed custody, data warehousing, e-commerce, preservation and recordkeeping standards. You will find more detail at our main Convergence 2001 pages.

Without doubt, this will be an exceptional opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors to become involved in the history-making first ever joint conference between the two major professional recordkeeping associations in Australia.
