ICMI joins as a Platinum Partner, aligning with PCOA’s focus on quality collaborations that deliver real value to members and the broader business events sector. The move reflects a more deliberate approach from PCOA, prioritising partners who bring depth, alignment and a clear commitment to the industry over transactional engagement. ICMI, now part of the Launchd group, brings expanded capability in connecting event organisers with speakers and talent across the region.
PCOA President Barry Neame said the partnership signals a clear direction for the association.
“We’re being very deliberate about who we partner with. It’s about working with partners who genuinely understand, support and wish to build trusted relationships with the business events community. This partnership with ICMI is a strong example of that approach in action.”
ICMI CEO Jacqui Timmins said becoming a Platinum Partner of PCOA reflects a shared commitment to supporting the business events industry and the professionals who make it thrive.
"We're proud to become a Platinum Partner of PCOA and support the event professionals it represents. As part of the Launchd group, ICMI now draws on the strength of a broader talent ecosystem, with Launchd and ICMI together supporting thousands of events across Australia each year, from major conferences and corporate events through to sporting events and live experiences. Together, we're committed to helping PCOA members connect with the right talent to create exceptional experiences for their clients and delegates."
