It’s a place where our people can share their realities, their best practices and their concerns. We can learn from great speakers and opinion formers.

The sessions are a combination of special guests sharing their thought leadership and agency peer groups collaborating and co-creating.

Each group is represented at ICA board level with two board directors, one from an independent agency & another from a network-owned agency. Above all, the aim of these groups is to create peer community & stronger connections across the agency sector with the ICA.
We are calling on our industry to unite in postponing all remaining 2020 investments in awards shows so we can focus on the well-being of our people and clients as we face the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ICA is proposing a call to action for the agency sector to put our people first by protecting their jobs and well-being, to help our clients pivot in uncertain times to serve consumers and to support our supply chain that depends on our sector to keep operating.
