"Without a doubt, my fellow attendees are what sets I2M apart from other conferences. Amy is dedicated to achieving the ideal balance between attendees and vendors, insisting upon an environment for maximum partnership between the two groups, while consistently protecting the extremely valuable peer-to-peer experience that is my favorite part of I2M."

- Kelly Knowles

Senior Director, Political Affairs
American Bakers Association

I2M isn't for the faint of heart. We value...

 

 

We value:

  • Grassroots input. We have an Advisory Committee that provides insight on the topics most important to experienced political involvement professionals.
  • A robust curriculum, the science of influence (it's not an art), professional development, and going "an inch wide and a mile deep" on PAC and grassroots execution strategies (and we were the first to do it that way).
  • Political involvement professionals who want to learn and raise the bar vs. go on a junket (although we have lots of fun).
  • Our participants! We embrace vigorous discussion and idea sharing.
  • Giving back. We spend a volunteer afternoon at the Beacon of Hope project (optional activity, although over 30% of last year's conference participants joined the fun).
  • Doing work and life in a way that demonstrates excellence.
