IAMC Fall 2005 Professional Forum
Corpus Christi, Texas

"Based upon my recent experience at the IAMC conference in Corpus Christi, I believe that the IAMC organization has great value for The Stanley Works and its real estate function. It is the right size and has the right focus. The programs at the conference were relevant to issues facing corporate real estate functions of major U.S. industrial corporations. However, the greatest value to our organization is the opportunity that these conferences provide to interact informally and openly with our peers."

"I am a new IAMC member, having joined within the past year, and I found the Professional Forum in Corpus Christi, Texas, to be extremely beneficial. I am greatly impressed by IAMC members, leaders of the organization, and conference staff. I'm looking forward to future conferences and the opportunity to share information with other members and reflect on the progress the organization is making from year to year."

"The IAMC Professional Forum in Corpus Christi definitely met my high expectations from the Leadership sessions on Sunday to the very engaging and energizing Peer-to-Peer discussions culminating in the wonderful experience of spending time with students at the University of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. I found the environment to be one of full engagement by all participants with a lot of interaction and sharing. I always look forward to IAMC Forums for three reasons:

• While we the members are all industrial, our foci are quite different. IAMC works to ensure that the educational opportunities apply across the broader spectrum.
• The size of the forum provides ample opportunity to interact with many people in a meaningful way.
• While we are made up of three constituents — end users, economic developers and service providers — this is not a 'pitch' session but rather one that focuses on the intellectual elements of this continuum."

"IAMC conferences are terrific networking events with an atmosphere of exchange for companies and service providers to discuss issues and solutions in the ever-changing industrial corporate real estate world."

"The recent IAMC Forum in Corpus Christi provided tremendous educational opportunities to learn directly from corporate real estate professionals exactly what issues and problems they face and how we can best solve them. In addition, it provided a great networking opportunity with colleagues to have valuable dialogue regarding a variety of concerns, best practices, and new initiatives we should implement. IAMC is extremely valuable to me personally and to our entire company professionally."

"The IAMC Forum in Corpus Christi provided the appropriate setting and scale for service providers and end users to discuss topics of mutual concern. In addition, the sessions continue to be among the best in the industry. I would recommend IAMC as an organization and its forums to practitioners interested in both career and business growth."

"IAMC continues to offer excellent opportunities for Actives and Associates to network in a smaller group environment. This allows the two groups to better understand the needs of each other and, therefore, to do our respective jobs more efficiently."
