For more than 20 years, one guiding principle has shaped the way our community connects and grows: when relationships come first, business naturally follows. This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, from Forums and webinars to leadership development initiatives. But the true foundation of this legacy is the strength and diversity of our members. Their individual stories form a vibrant network that grows stronger by championing knowledge sharing, connection and innovation. As the industry evolves, so does our community, adapting to new demands while staying committed to meaningful collaboration and support.

As IAMC continues to grow and strives to exceed member needs and expectations, so does our commitment to providing exceptional value through high-quality professional education, strategic leadership development and world-class programming. We’re excited to welcome two dynamic professionals to the IAMC staff who will help further elevate our offerings and member experience.

Joining our team are Charlene Manuel, our new Director of Education & Research, and Andrea “Andi” Rawl, who steps into the role of Director of Professional Development. Each brings a unique background, deep expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—and we’re thrilled to have them on board.

IAMC is heading to one of the world’s most dynamic global cities this June for the IAMC International Forum – London, taking place 11-12 June 2025 at the Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars.

This highly anticipated international event brings together senior leaders in corporate real estate, economic development and service provider organizations for two days of global insight, peer-to-peer knowledge exchange and strategic connections.

While IAMC’s Spring, Fall and International Forums serve as flagship gatherings, our Local, International and Virtual events provide rich opportunities to engage year-round. Whether across town or across the globe, IAMC helps members stay connected, share knowledge and strengthen relationships throughout the calendar year.

Professional development and knowledge sharing opportunities are two of IAMC’s key offerings. You are most likely very familiar with IAMC events, from Forums to Locals and Internationals. But, are you familiar with the professional development resources available to you 24/7 through IAMC Cornerstone?
