Earlier this year, we hosted our global m|world meeting – a milestone moment for everyone at m|events.
Whether onsite in Berlin, tuning in from Vienna, Munich, Providence, or Tysons – or joining from a plane, train, car, or conference – our entire team came together to celebrate what we've built and where we're headed.
The core message: we are now one.
A New Chapter – One Name Across the Globe
With the integration of The Conference Exchange and Advance Concepts, we now operate under a single name: m|events.
This marks more than just a rebrand. It’s the beginning of a new phase – one where all our teams, talents, and technologies come together as a unified force across:
-
Providence, RI
-
Washington, D.C.
-
Berlin
-
Munich
-
Vienna
Together, we’re building a stronger foundation to serve our clients worldwide – with more capabilities, broader expertise, and a shared vision for the future of scientific meetings.
Built on Real Stories, Not Buzzwords
Our CEO Sebastian Loza Roger, alongside our Management Team Julia Pas, Darcy Emerson, Phil Joseph, Mathias Balhorn, Christian Hufendiek, and Jan Rentsch shared not just strategy and goals – but stories.
Stories of building something from the ground up.
Stories of how we grew from a small team pulling cables and checking presentations to a global company running 300+ events yearly. Stories of how every new challenge led us to a better solution – often a new product or service that helped more than just one client.
That same mindset still drives us today:
Listen. Understand. Build what’s needed – even if it doesn’t exist yet.
Innovation That Means Something
Innovation isn't just a buzzword for us – it’s a responsibility.
Whether it’s navigating regulatory shifts, creating virtual congress platforms during a pandemic, or designing more sustainable event workflows – we’re focused on solving real problems for our clients and our industry.
Our mission is to build smarter tools, more flexible platforms, and educational ecosystems that help associations stay ahead – not just react to change.
Collaboration Over Competition
One of the strongest messages from m|world 2025:
We don’t believe in silos – we believe in shared success.
By joining forces across continents, merging our strengths, and combining decades of experience, we’re now offering clients a seamless, end-to-end partner across every phase of the congress lifecycle.
Former collaborations between Confex and ACI are now fully integrated – and the result is a team with hundreds of events behind them, thousands of industry connections, and countless lessons learned.
Purpose, Integrity & Sustainability
We know the future isn’t just about speed and tech – it’s also about values.
That’s why we’re investing in sustainable practices, ethical tech (including AI), and a culture of accountability. Not just because it’s the right thing to do – but because we believe it’s the only way to build long-term, trust-based partnerships.
Empowering the Next Generation
We’re also committed to growing our people – from the inside out.
Through mentorship, leadership development, and hands-on opportunities, we’re preparing the next generation to lead boldly, think differently, and serve clients with both head and heart.
Every great event starts with a great team behind it.
What Comes Next
m|world 2025 wasn’t just a celebration – it was a statement of intent.
We’re entering a new chapter as one m|events – with more power, more passion, and more purpose than ever before.
For our clients, that means working with a partner who’s not just keeping up – but actively shaping the future of scientific meetings.
We’re ready.
Let’s build what’s next. Together.
