IEM Honored for 3rd Consecutive Year in Aggie 100

Texas A&M University recognized IEM as a member of the 2019 Aggie 100, which honors emergent companies owned or operated by Texas A&M Former Students.

Originally in the public consumer shows sector, IEM soon began applying its logistics, marketing and event expertise to client conferences in the private and government sectors. IEM’s growth has been fueled primarily by word of mouth of our clients.

“The Aggie 100 is a very impressive representation of Aggie excellence. The honorees bring the best to their respective industries and are keeping the Aggie entrepreneurial standards alive and well,” said Richard H. Lester, executive director of the Mays Business School’s McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship.
