About Us

iF Magazine’s concept is unique and amazing. With Forbes ranking Houston as the most diverse city in America, Houston is certainly the new mecca for attracting, engaging, and building international business relationships. Add that we have 93 foreign consulates with a presence in the city, and more than 190 foreign languages spoken here, iF Magazine is the only one of its kind targeting this diverse, upscale group.

    The City of Atlanta continues to attract new residents. The current population of the city is 465,000, and is projected to grow to 1.3 million by 2050. In 2017, Atlanta was named the #1 moving destination in the nation for the 8th straight year by Penske.
