Message from the President - June 2025

You’ve told us that community is key, so we’re making sure you get through winter feeling connected, inspired, and ready to charge into the new financial year.

The “I” in IABC stands for International, and this month we’re living up to it. On 30 June, we’re bringing you the best of the IABC World Conference via a special Australian webinar - all from the comfort of your home or office.

Thanks to our incredible Queensland Chapter, you’ll hear directly from some of the standout speakers who recently took to the stage in Vancouver. This year’s Congress explored the issues keeping communication professionals up at night - from the rapid rise of AI to the deeply human elements of our craft that we must continue to protect and champion.

If you do just one thing for your career this winter, make it our Winter Mingle on 24 July, the signature networking event of the season. Whether you come solo, with a plus one, or bring your team, you’ll be warmly welcomed into the IABC fold.

And finally - stay tuned! Next month we’ll be announcing the leader who will deliver this year’s Deb Ganderton Oration. We can’t wait to share more soon.
