IMN Solutions Acquires Conference Incorporated: A New Era in Association Management

In a strategic move to solidify its standing within the association management landscape, IMN Solutions has announced its acquisition of Conference Incorporated (CI), a renowned player in the industry based in Reston, Virginia. This pivotal acquisition joins forces with two respected industry leaders: Donna Tschiffely from CI and Barbara A. Myers, CAE of IMN Solutions. Both have built their reputations on a commitment to client satisfaction and possess extensive expertise within the sector.

The integration represents a significant milestone for both organizations, coming at a time when IMN Solutions is experiencing remarkable growth. Established nearly 50 years ago by Tschiffely, CI has earned a reputation for excellence in association and event management, consistently prioritizing exceptional service and successful outcomes for clients.

Reflecting on this transition, Tschiffely expressed a sense of bittersweet anticipation. "After over 50 years in the industry, it will be difficult to close this chapter. However, I am confident that IMN is the ideal place for CI’s clients to continue their journey, and I am eager for this new chapter to unfold." This sentiment echoes the substantial relationship between the two companies, as IMN has already established contacts with several of CI's clientele, providing sourcing and contracting solutions for them.

Overall, this acquisition not only enhances IMN Solutions’ portfolio but also showcases its commitment to adapting in a rapidly evolving market. Since pivoting its services in 2020, the company successfully expanded its association and event management offerings, witnessing an impressive 500% growth. This expansion enhances IMN's service offerings globally, allowing for the delivery of even better experiences for clients across various sectors.

Barbara A. Myers, CAE, expressed her enthusiasm about the integration, noting that the addition of CI's clients to IMN’s portfolio is a seamless fit. "IMN Solutions has already developed strong relationships with several CI clients, and I am thrilled at the prospect of working with even more organizations to expand our capabilities and service offerings."

While the acquisition brings an energy of optimism, it also raises the crucial point of maintaining the high standards that both organizations have established. IMN Solutions is dedicated to ensuring that the high-quality service and deep industry insights that CI’s clientele have come to expect will remain a fundamental focus during this transition. The merger will enhance client offerings, as it will provide expanded expertise, enhanced collaborative networks, and broader service capabilities.

As IMN Solutions steps into this new era, its entrepreneurial spirit and client-centric approach will be pivotal. Each client is valued as unique, with specific needs and challenges, underscoring a bespoke approach to every engagement.

IMN Solutions continues to strive to be at the forefront of the industry, consistently seeking innovative methods to better serve its diverse clientele and further redefine the landscape of association and event management for years to come. This acquisition not only marks a moment of growth but also signals an ongoing commitment to excellence and client success in the face of an ever-evolving marketplace.
