"This was wonderful," one attendee has told me since. "Is there any way we can replicate it in Memphis?"

        As any corporate strategist knows, you can't replicate a unique event. You can only build on it. And that is indeed what we'll do in Memphis this September, as we tackle "Corporate Real Estate in a Changing World Economy."

        Look for program leader Ed Kelley and his team to head up another leadership seminar, aimed at a wider audience. And you can bet that the next Research Roundtable will follow in the resounding footsteps of the extremely informative Sarbanes-Oxley Research Roundtable in Tucson, spearheaded by Education and Research Committee co-chairs Phil Hammel and Pat McKee. In between we'll continue to raise the bar with high-level educational and panel sessions that stimulate your thinking and the way you conduct your day-to-day business.

        As we look back with fondness on the Tucson Forum, it's an opportune time to pass along the not-so-secret word about IAMC membership. Think Memphis in the meantime.
