New to the convention? Coming solo? Or simply keen to meet more people in the Information Management community? This welcoming and interactive opening session is the perfect way to start your RIMPA Live Convention experience.
Designed as a fun and relaxed icebreaker, Connections Kickstart helps attendees meet fellow delegates, spark conversations, and build new connections before the official program begins. Through a series of quick paired conversations, you’ll chat with a range of people in an easy one-on-one format - ideal for those who find large networking groups a little daunting.
You’ll explore engaging discussion prompts such as:
✨ What inspired you to attend this year’s convention, and what are you most excited to experience?
✨ Which session or speaker are you most looking forward to, and what caught your interest?
✨ What knowledge, ideas, or experiences would you love to share with others over the next few days?
With multiple short rounds, each conversation builds confidence, creates familiarity, and opens the door to meaningful connections that can continue throughout the convention.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning face, this is your chance to turn a room full of strangers into a network of future colleagues and friends.
