SURVEY RESULTS

More than 97% of attendees are very likely or likely to recommend the IPMI Conference & Expo to a colleague.

Attending my first IPMI conference was an incredible experience! Not only was it enjoyable to travel and reconnect with colleagues, but I also made valuable connections and built friendships that I hope will last throughout my career and beyond. The conference provided numerous opportunities to network with vendors, prospects, and customers.

IPMI has facilitated my growth as a parking professional. When asked what I do, I proudly says "I am a parking professional" and await the inevitable "a what now?" I love the opportunity to explain how much goes into the planning of a place to put a car once you leave your home. Parking Professionals make that happen.

IPMI is such an amazing organization and does so much to support and enhance the entire mobility, parking, and transportation industry. I look forward to attending this conference each year.

90% of attendees felt they had significant time and opportunities to network with other conference attendees.

92% of attendees shared that the education sessions were useful to their operations and profession.

Participate, participate, participate! The IPMI Conference & Expo provides an untold number of opportunities to showcase products, network with industry professionals, and learn!

The IPMI staff truly went above and beyond this year to create spaces where attendees could connect and have discussions that mattered. There's nothing quite like a face-to-face conversation for growing personal relationships and business ones, too.

Over 90% of attendees shared that the Expo offered the products and services they were looking for.
