See who our partners were.
IMI Connect is a for-the-industry, by-the-industry event. Present were IMI contributors, partners, and readers like yourself. They came to talk frankly and off-the-cuff about the challenges and opportunities facing RCBI professionals, not to make dull and repetitive presentations about particular projects. Speakers and panelists were selected based on their relevant expertise, not based on sponsorship alone.
