Report From the(Home)Field: AMP Goes From A to V

摘要

The Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) held its annual conference virtually April 14-16, 2021, having skipped last year's due to the pandemic. AIIP is a unique professional association representing independent business owners who provide information-related services. Member businesses span a number of different services, with five main areas of focus: research, marketing and communications, information management and technology, training and consulting, and writing and editing. The Remo platform worked well for AIIPs conference, allowing for verbal conversations around groupings represented as tables as well as chat boxes for typing. Moving between the virtual room with the tables and Zoom presentations was sometimes a bit jarring, but it was mainly an easy transition. Topics this year almost spanned the alphabet. They went from A to V, starting with adversity and ending up with voice.
