"I was very excited to receive the Scholarship and represent TasNetworks, not only for the opportunity to attend the conference, but to meet others in the records and information industry. It was a chance to connect with others in person and was invaluable. The immense effort put into making the event run so smoothly was clearly evident. For me it really bought to light the sense of belonging in the often-isolated field of records management. From the insightful presentations to the collaborative networking, I didn’t anticipate gaining so much from attending.
The time and energy invested were more than worthwhile, leaving me enriched with knowledge, a lasting sense of community and the hope to return next year.

RIMPA Live 2024 far exceeded my expectations. With its stunning venue, exceptional food, and a wealth of informative sessions, it proved to be an event worth attending and I would do it again in a heartbeat. What truly set this conference apart was the strong sense of community within RIMPA Global where everyone was welcoming and eager to connect. It wasn’t just about acquiring knowledge; it was about establishing meaningful relationships and feeling part of a larger professional family. The time and resources invested were more than worthwhile, leaving a lasting impact on my professional growth and personal connections."

"The scholarship provides an absolutely amazing opportunity to attend ARMA International’s InfoCon 2024 Conference which in 2024 was being held in Houston, Texas or Space City as its affectionately known as it’s the home of the Houston Space Centre.  The conference was held in October which was a really interesting time to be in the United States as it was 2 weeks before the elections were being held.  The ARMA International Conference is considered one of the premier events for information professionals to connect, learn and shape the profession.  The 2024 conference attracted over 900 delegates.

It’s an extremely generous scholarship valued at $8,000 that covers flights, accommodation and full registration.  For me it was both an honour and an absolute career highlight.  After a 13 and half hour direct flight from Auckland to Houston I arrived to a balmy 31 degrees.  When I left my home in New Plymouth it was around 15 degrees, so some slight acclimatization was required on my behalf.  It is a 32 minute drive from Houston Airport to the Hilton Americas which is connected by an air bridge to the George R. Brown Convention Center where ARMA InfoCon 2024 was being held. 

I have to say the whole conference was an incredible experience and an absolute career highlight.  Talking to other attendees from the US and finding out that many of our challenges are shared ones was also insightful.  The social events woven into the conference was also a great opportunity to meet and learn from other attendees. 

A core value of attending InfoCon is staying updated on the latest trends, technologies, and best practices so this has been a fantastic opportunity to do this.  Being able to connect with industry experts and thought leaders as well as building relationships with peers from around the globe has been an amazing opportunity.
