One Team, One Vision, One Brand

The Conference Exchange and Advance Concepts, Inc. Now Operate as m|events USA

As of July 1, 2025, Confex and Advance Concepts, Inc. (ACI) officially join the m|events brand—forming the U.S. arm of a unified, global platform for scientific and professional event delivery.

This move isn’t about replacing what worked. It’s about strengthening it—so that scientific associations, academic societies, and event organizers can rely on one trusted partner to deliver across every phase of the event lifecycle.

Serving the World of Events and Conferences

Today’s events are more complex than ever—hybrid, global, and increasingly fast-moving. Organizers are managing more sessions, more stakeholders, and more technology, all under tighter timelines. What hasn’t changed is the need for clarity, reliability, and true partnership.

This merger brings together two trusted companies:

• The Conference Exchange, with decades of expertise in abstract systems, registration, CE tracking, and speaker coordination
  
  
• Advance Concepts, Inc., known for high-impact AV production, hybrid staging, live surgical broadcasting, and creative media
  

Now fully unified under the m|events name, our teams and technologies are working as one—to offer full-service event delivery, powered by global support and a single system of execution.

Stateside History

The Conference Exchange: Enabling Scientific Access Since 1996

The Conference Exchange (Confex) was created to solve a common pain point in the conference space: important presentations were inaccessible and often lost once delivered.

Over the next three decades, Confex became a cornerstone in how scientific and academic meetings were built—helping organizers manage abstracts, build programs, track CE/CME, and register attendees with ease and precision.

Advance Concepts, Inc. (ACI): Engineering Events Since 1982

Advance Concepts began as a creative production firm and quickly evolved into a full-scale event partner, supporting everything from corporate meetings to live surgical broadcasts. The team became known for its adaptability, attention to detail, and technical polish—delivering at scale without compromising quality.

Whether orchestrating a main stage at a global summit or streaming a complex medical case to a global audience, ACI was the team behind the scenes, making sure every moment delivered.

What This Means for Our Clients

You’ll continue working with the same trusted teams you’ve known from Confex and ACI, and our U.S.-based clients remain supported locally, with access to expanded global resources. The full Loop that we offer in Europe is now a global full circle solution.

Built on Legacy. Designed for What’s Next.

This merger represents more than a rebrand. It’s a commitment to delivering the kind of partnership and performance our clients need in today’s conference landscape—and tomorrow’s.

If you’ve worked with Confex or ACI before, you’ll see familiar names, the same high standard, and a more connected experience. If you’re discovering us for the first time, we’re excited to show you what’s possible.

Let’s build what’s next—together, as m|events.
