IT professionals as well as business to business and business to consumer publishers; print and marketing service providers; advertising agencies; and marketers in the corporate, government, and non-profit sectors are invited to learn about and effectively implement social networking, digital media, and print platforms.

ON DEMAND is the leading North America-based conference and exposition dedicated to technologies that monetize, optimize, and control content. Marketing and communications professionals, operations and production managers, IT specialists, and corporate executives gather to see the latest solutions and gain insight into the convergence of communications and digital information.

The annual affair targets business professionals and executive managers seeking the latest technologies to capture, manage, share, and store documents and digital content to support business processes and comply with governmental regulations. Additional goals include driving down costs and gaining a competitive edge.

For nearly ten years, the co-located info360 and ON DEMAND Conference & Expo provides the largest enterprise IT event in North America, representing the convergence of content and data throughout the information lifecycle—from creation to delivery and output.
