Social Media Highlights from the AAMA and IGMA Summer Conferences

The 2019 Joint AAMA and IGMA Summer Conferences offered much in the way of networking with new and existing connections, advancing standards development and learning more about our beloved industry. Now that the fun is over, it’s time to look back at the photos taken by participants. Victoria, BC made for a picturesque meeting location, and between whale watching, Butchart Gardens, a citywide scavenger hunt and dinner at a pub, members and staff alike got some great shots. Here are some highlights, as shared by folks who used the event hashtag #AAMAconf on Twitter and Instagram.

VEKA’s Twitter account jokingly thanked the whales of Canada for letting us take a peek into their underwater lives during Monday’s whale watching excursion.
And a special thank you to the whales - we really appreciate your participation! #IGMA #AAMAConf #whales pic.twitter.com/THrgcRe02J
