IBAM Conference Testimonials (represented here with their permission)

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the rest of conference committee for such a wonderful experience this past week at IBAM. It was my first IBAM conference -- John Sosik spoke so very highly of the people affiliated with IBAM that I decided to attend even though I had no role as a presenter, discussant or workshop organizer. He was so very accurate in his descriptions! I found the IBAMers to be a warm and welcoming group of professionals. I felt a genuine sense of camaraderie and collegiality that was indeed a refreshing experience. I look forward to next year's conference and the opportunity to become more involved. Again, thank you for an exceptional conference."

"The IBAM conference was the best!!! Thank you both for being so hospitable and chairing/reviewing my paper.  I really liked the sessions at the conference more than others that I have attended because the topics were very practitioner oriented vs esoteric research. I know everything has its place, but because of the practical nature of the sessions I attended, I was able to take home lots of ideas. And--of course, everyone there was so collegial."

"...My first year in Tampa had loads of doctoral students, and I really felt I learned a lot from them. In addition to all the help from you, Ernie [Stark] also made a real difference that year. He spoke to me in between sessions like I was a real person. After the Academy, that was amazingly refreshing."
