Great conference!
What did you like best about the event?
The options for the sessions. I felt there was one, sometimes two, in each window that piqued my interest. The panels presenting all that I attended did a great job.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The attendance was high this year. Some sessions were jam-packed, which is a great problem to have, but bigger meeting rooms would have been nice.

Very well scheduled and staffed by helpful people.
What did you like best about the event?
The Whova app made communication with attendees very easy. I also liked the calendar feature which made booking meetings easy to sync with my work calendar.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Add a networking event with pre-scheduled meetings like speed dating with an assigned table. I would have liked the opportunity to sit at a table and speak with the attendees who wanted to book meetings meetings with me instead of trying to find a place every time.

IMA - Exactly who we wanted to meet
What did you like best about the event?
The networking opportunities were outstanding. The right mix of exactly who we wanted to meet.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Just a few things stood out. No provided lunch, on Monday seemed odd. The Networking lounge was too small, leaving many people taking meetings in the lobby. The event being spread out over several floors was also confusing.

IMA Summit 2025 was a very valuable experience for me.
What did you like best about the event?
Networking, learning industry trends, meeting and learning about companies in the industry that I had not been exposed to.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
More learning content on Day 3. It was a bit light in terms of options. Would have liked to have had some more choices for presentations/panels on Day 3.
Did you have a favourite speaker or session? Please tell us below
The IESP sessions were very good and relevant to my work. I enjoyed the IESP session on Day 1. Inside the Incentive Buyer's Mind, Trend, Risk, Reality.

A valuable experience with great people, though a few logistical hiccups.
What did you like best about the event?
I really enjoyed the chance to connect with so many professionals in the industry. The energy was great, and the networking opportunities were truly valuable.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The venue setup made it a bit tricky to find people, since meetings were spread across different floors. A few times, I was waiting on the 6th floor while the other person was on the 5th, so we missed each other.
