ALSA-Wisconsin
"IML was an amazing partner for our ALS “Evening of Hope”.
The bidding devices added a sense of excitement and we saw a definite increase in bidding.
The fact that people could bid through dinner made a major difference. People raved it was the best year yet. The IML team was phenomenal.
They were extremely professional and true partners every step of the way."
Melanie M. Roach-Bekos, Executive Director ALSA-Wisconsin
The Cooper Union
“The event was a huge success for the college and we were all thrilled with the amount we raised through the bidding system. It ran very smoothly and our guests really enjoyed it. It definitely felt like a fun added feature as well as a great way to keep guests engaged...not to mention, the capability to bid throughout dinner was a major bonus for us.”Assistant Director of special projects, The Cooper Union
Worldwide Event Production, 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."Hope Chest for Breast Cancer
"The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer partnered with IML for our 7th annual Denim & Diamonds Gala in October, 2009. Our guests were excited to use the electronic hand-held bidding devices, and together we were able to create a fun, competitive environment for our silent auction. It was really nice not to have bid sheets and pens on the silent auction display tables......
Robin Hood
“The theme of the night was ‘Robin Hood Responds,’ and we were blown away by the number of people who responded this year. Not only did the IML technology help us increase the night's overall revenue, but it was easy and fun for everyone to get involved. Whether they were able to donate $10,000 or $10, each person was able to make a contribution, and do so anonymously. And when they saw their respective section's total rising in real time... the energy in the room was electric. In this economy, finding new ways to engage more guests in the fundraising process makes a real difference.”
SVP Development & Communications, Robin Hood
Robin Hood
“Robin Hood looks for people who are thinking and working as hard as we are. From preparation and troubleshooting to execution and follow-up, IML were with us—or ahead of us—every step of the way. They thought through every possible disaster scenario in advance and had a solution before the problem even arose. After going through this benefit with IML on our side, I can’t imagine going through this with another group of people.”
Senior Manager, Development Operations, Robin Hood

"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.”
Cory Elementary, Denver Public Schools
"Every single person I spoke with said your system was so great, it truly added another level of fun and interaction to our auction."
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...

HSBC Managers Conference
"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."
Steve Clifton, M&E Events

"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."
