IML is short for International Mr. Leather and refers to the contest held every Memorial Day weekend at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. It's the single largest gathering of leatherfolk in the world I'd say.

IML now alternates between the Palmer House and the Hyatt Regency. Year before last, while the Palmer was under renovation, the event moved to the Hyatt Regency. It was so successful and the hotel so cooperative, the organizers decided to foster the relationship by taking IML back every other year.
IML is a lot of things to different people. The International Mr. Leather Contest is, of course, the center-piece. But primarily it's a large weekend gathering for the leather community. The bars will hold special events; many organizations and businesses will throw special parties; there's a large "leather market."
Nothing is harder than being yourself in a world that constantly tries to make you something else.
