SIIA was founded as the “Information Industry Association” in 1968. It was the very first professional organization to represent the information industry. Over the years, SIIA brought specialized information industries under one umbrella — including Connectiv, SIPA and AM&P. The AM&P Network is one part of this overall fantastic community that also represents financial information software, Ed Tech, government policy and publishing. As part of the SIIA family, we offer access to top-level decision makers, communicators and marketers to the industries that make the media and information world work. SIIA also advocates for intellectual property protections, copyright and issues critical to protect publishers.
