ABM to Merge With Software and Information Industry Association:
American Business Media is merging with the Software and Information Industry Association, ending 107 years of independence for the b-to-b media trade association. The merger was effective with a vote by the board last night. The move, said ABM CEO Clark Pettit and Chairman Jeff Lapin, was initiated by SIIA and creates a much larger association that is better positioned to serve an emerging industry, rather than the one that existed in the past.
