Meetings & Events Testimonials
UNISON LLC
"The release of the IML Connector has met
and surpassed all our expectations. Congratulations! The qwerty
keyboards, LED screen, the speed of the receipt of questions
through your messaging function and the ability for each
participant to communicate with the presenters and audience with
their own “built in” mic is the best.
We would be remiss if we did not point out how
responsive your team was to all our needs. From the pre-event
programming to the on-site execution, every thing went perfectly
well. The customized graphics and the customized “game”, were
very well done, as was all your reporting functions. We look
forward to our next opportunity to work with your great product and
team."

"Having now used the IML
Connector in a real world environment – both in the UK and abroad,
it is an outstanding piece of technology. It is a compact,
capable and carefully designed device that provides a first class
voting and delegate interactive platform that excels at every
level. One of the major improvements has been the mic activation
facility – it is now on a par, I believe (and my audio manager
agrees) with traditional Shure SM58 hand-held radio mics, normally
trotted-out in Q&A sessions. Obviously this is a little
biased having experienced the IML Connector up close, but from my
experience of using it in-depth, in a fast-moving
training/conference environment for a major oil company, I can
categorically say the functionality, clarity and speed of the mic
on the handset is superb, and alleviates all of the issues
surrounding Q&A facilitation of delegate mics during such
sessions.
If you do anything new this year, get your
clients to use the IML Connector – it’s a blast and everyone from
the client to the production team will thank you for it!"

"What an amazing
product/service! The addition of your state-of-the-art technology
enriched the conference in so many ways - from increased attendee
engagement, to instant feedback for those of us on the organization
team, to creating just the right pace and flow
of presentations and discussions. From both a meeting
design, as well as a purely logistical standpoint, the
flexibility of the system, its rapidity in projecting survey
results and the built-in individual microphone
feature elevated our conference to a whole new level. All
those years I ran around rooms with a hand held mic or had to
have extra staff to run multiple mics around the room during
discussion periods...no more! That technological advance alone
deserves a special award from meeting planners around the
globe! I never thought I'd live long enough to see something
so thoughtfully designed, so easy to use and of such value to
meeting organizers and participants. Rock on, IML!"
Gartner
"We have
used IML for our audience polling needs for several events to
gather feedback from our conference delegates regarding their
technology issues. IML’s customer service has been outstanding for
each event – the staff handles all the pre-planning work, we
simply supply the questions and they do the rest. The onsite staff
is always professional, reliable and very accommodating with any
last-minute changes, and the handheld devices are extremely easy to
use. Our conference delegates have provided very positive feedback
about this new interactive feature, and the results that we have
gathered will go a long way in providing added value to our
research and event content for Gartner clients."

"From the germ of an idea to completion of
our training video, the IML team was spot on in the quality of
their work, timelines of the project, and in their positive and
professional interactions with store staff and customers.”
Greater Twin Cities United
Way
“After being referred to IML, I was pleasantly
surprised at the level of customer service and attention to detail
that they provided for our event. We had a very short
timeline to pull everything together, and the whole team didn’t bat
an eye. They wanted to know every detail, and in a detail
oriented position that was comforting. In a room of more than
650 nonprofit executives and business leaders, it was evident that
every attendee was in awe of the capabilities of the IML equipment,
and many spoke with their staff to get more information on how to
bring it to their events...
IML’s equipment is a great way to bring
interactivity to a meeting or event without having to spend extra
time moving tables or getting up from your seat. Even
on-the-fly changes and question additions were no match for this
well-organized team, and I would highly recommend them to anyone –
and already have!”
Medtronic,

"IML always performs as a true partner, not only
providing exactly what we want, but also going the extra mile to
work as seamlessly with us as if they are a part of our company.
Their technical expertise, quality and consistency are things I
have come to expect and their innovative ideas are endless."
BRAVO!
"Your team
was a delight to work with. They were not only flexible and
patient, but helpful and fun, what more can you ask
for. I know the attendees at the CEO Roundtable loved the
microphone capabilities and the polling went very smoothly.
I truly believe that IML provides a full service product that is
exceptional. The combination of the polling equipment's
technical capabilities, the ability of your team to get the devices
to provide the data a client needs and your commitment to customer
service make your product fantastic and an exceptional partner for
any planning company and client."

workshop showed me invaluable methods to engage and realize the
power of my client’s meeting attendees. I can highly recommend the

"IML's interactive quiz game was recommended to us as an excellent
way to absorb guests into the competitive spirit of the evening,
and it really worked! The IML team created a quiz especially
for the JNF and they were fantastic, providing action-packed
entertainment from start to finish."
RPM Ltd
"The IML
team were a pleasure to deal with, both pre-event as well as
onsite. Of particular note was our Meeting Operator's proactivity,
which meant even last minute changes were dealt with resulting in a
delivery where everything ran smoothly. IML's system offers a great
deal of potential to experiential events and we look forward to
working with the team again."
Deloitte &

"IML never fail to deliver a great service
and product at the events they are working on. They add value to
our events by understanding what we are trying to achieve and
advise us on the content of the questions we ask the audience. I
look forward to continuing to work with them on future events."
Opinion Leader
Research
"For many people, pensions are a complicated
and emotive subject, around which there are many misconceptions and
misunderstandings. IML's interactive system helped Opinion Leader
to impart simple and accessible information in a fun and lively way
that kept participants engaged and stimulated throughout National
Pensions Day. More importantly, IML's keypads ensured that every
participant across the UK contributed to the day and to the debate.
IML's keypads created an energetic environment and proved crucial
to the effectiveness of the day".
The Brain and Spine
Foundation
"The technical support from IML was
discreet and brilliant and just did the job and supported us
fantastically. We have already had comments on what an excellent
tool to engage and get information this was. We are working with a
group of people who are often at saturation point with questions so
this is a new way to motivate them."
VT Plus

"We were impressed with how IML wanted to
understand our business so they could provide us with the best
solutions for our event. They came up with some fantastic ideas to
ensure we got the best out of the interactive handsets and the best
out of our event."

Four Points
"IML's
Communicator keypads enabled us to instantly canvass the opinions
of more than 1,000 audience members in a very short space of time.
Voting results were calculated immediately and automatically
displayed live, creating a fast-paced and exciting environment that
motivated and engaged delegates throughout the event."
British Airways
"It is crucial for BA to demonstrate a pro-active approach to
reform in order to highlight our unwavering commitment to live up
to the expectations of our shareholders. IML's electronic keypads
have modernized our AGM and kept it in line with changing times and
technology. More importantly, they have held us and our practices
fully accountable and transparent. I firmly believe that electronic
voting is the future of AGMs and will become standardized practice
at all AGMs, providing shareholders with a familiar format they can
have complete confidence in."
Mongoose
Partnership
"During the last two years Mongoose has
enjoyed a very productive and constructive relationship with IML,
working closely together on a number of projects for clients such
as PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Halifax and The Bank of Scotland. IML's
ability to develop advanced Text Response software for a particular
event with short lead times demonstrates not only a strong
technical knowledge but also a refreshingly proactive
attitude."
Quest Worldwide
"High impact events are one of Quest Worldwide's core approaches,
helping our clients to develop people engagement to improve
business performance. A key ingredient of this approach is the use
of IML's Question Wizard interactive system. When designed into a
management event with experienced facilitation, Question Wizard
makes it possible to energize participants, test understanding,
challenge opinions, develop consensus and build commitment."
"On this occasion we also had the benefit of an IML operator who
played a key role in customizing the approach to meet our needs and
that of our client. We see our partnership with IML as very
important to our business."
The Event
Works
"It was our great pleasure to work with IML
again this year and our clients were delighted with the capability
of the enotes program. Enotes ensured that the real hot topics of
the conference were addressed and enabled all 400 delegates the
equal opportunity to have their say. Our client has found it
particularly useful to have access to a database of the instant
messages generated from enotes during the conference, as it has
enabled excellent post conference communications.
We recommended IML to our client as we were confident that they
would deliver an excellent client service both in terms of the
technology supplied and in terms of the training and coaching of
our client on the effective use of the enotes program. We will
certainly be continuing to recommend IML to our clients in the
future."
HSBC Bank
"Our
client used Text Response to elicit comments and questions from the
audience to drive Q&A sessions. Throughout the business
sessions we were concerned that the sensitivity of subject matters
would limit delegate responses in an open forum. The text
function provided anonymity for delegates and generated an
excellent response. The speed of the texting system was very
good as we were able to update the audience with responses on key
issues immediately after a text session was completed. The texting
function was a huge success as a gatherer of comment for lively
debate on sensitive issues, and I will be recommending the system
to my other clients."

"Getting the audience to use the handsets
to vote anonymously was a great way of warming them up. It allowed
delegates to participate in the proceedings but without being
required to over-exert themselves! Being able to use the handsets
as microphones and therefore dispense with roving mikes was a real
bonus and made the audience question session a lot easier to handle
smoothly.
We were impressed by the efficient, professional way in which
IML's representative handled the set-up of equipment on the day,
particularly when liaising with the venue's technical staff.
Overall, we found that the service IML provided was excellent and
hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the
future."
TELUS
"One of our core TELUS values is
the courage to innovate. Being the first to use this technology in
Canada to improve the AGM experience for our shareholders clearly
made sense."
