IAMC’s biannual North American Forums are more than just conferences; they are opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate the organization’s thriving community. Since Spring 2021, IAMC has marked each of these gatherings with a unique and cherished tradition: the Challenge Coin. 

The philosophy of continuous improvement, introduced by W. Edwards Deming in the 1950s, is more than just a guiding principle – it’s the foundation of IAMC’s success. Thanks to the dedication of our leadership, committees and members, we achieved remarkable milestones in 2024, reinforcing IAMC’s role as a premier organization in industrial real estate.

An IAMC International event at the Hilton London Kensington in November featured EMEA logistics insights from Kevin Molfid, head of logistics research at Savills; a discussion of “the carbon cost of location” by Cushman Wakefield’s Sally Bruer; and an exploration of site selection and current FDI trends by Nicholette Ross, managing consultant at Global Location Strategies.

The commercial real estate landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years. Leaders in the field have had to navigate economic shifts, adapt to evolving workplace cultures, and embrace innovations that are reshaping how space is utilized. As we continue forward, success requires bold strategies, fresh solutions, and an unwavering commitment to growth.

At IAMC, leadership, service and innovation drive our community forward. Each year, we honor outstanding members who exemplify these values and invite new leaders to help shape IAMC’s future. Now is the time to recognize those who make a difference by submitting nominations for our prestigious awards and recommending candidates for IAMC’s Board of Directors.
