Whether you're a student preparing to launch your career, a professional ready for your next step, or someone looking to stay relevant in a rapidly shifting landscape, this is the conversation you need to be part of.

Start the morning right by catching up for a coffee with your fellow IABC Queensland members.

Connect, share and learn with communicators from across the regions in this informal online Q&A session.

To truly build a powerhouse employer brand, the line between internal culture and external reputation must disappear.

Deepfakes, voice clones and synthetic content are changing how fast reputational issues escalate – and how difficult they can be to verify.

In this interactive session, you’ll move beyond theory to test how your organisation would respond under pressure.

You’ll explore real-world scenarios, strengthen your crisis response framework and build practical tools you can immediately apply.

Are you communicating across borders in the Asia-Pacific region — and wondering why your message isn't always landing the way you intended?

This IABC APAC panel will dive deep into the nuances of cross-cultural communication in one of the world's most diverse regions.

If you work in comms or change on the Gold Coast, join us for a free, in-person professional development evening with light refreshments.

The IABC World Conference is one of the biggest gatherings in professional communications — and this year, some of your APAC colleagues are making the trip to Toronto to experience it firsthand.

In this webinar, communicators from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and India will share what they heard, learned, and couldn't stop thinking about after three days in the room with some of the brightest minds in our profession.

Expect real takeaways, not polished summaries. Our speakers will share the ideas that challenged their thinking, the conversations they're still processing, and the trends they're already watching.

Whether you can't make it to Toronto or just want to hear the latest trends and insights, this is the session to be in.

Join us and bring the world conference home.

Have you ever thought about taking a pivot to own your own communications business and being your own boss?

In this IABC Queensland virtual panel event, experienced communicators who have made that leap from secure and senior in‑house roles to solo practice or small consultancies share what motivated the move and what the reality has looked like since.

This is not a “go‑it‑alone success story” session. Instead, it’s an honest conversation about timing, trade‑offs, fear, freedom, sustainability and identity, and what people at any career stage can learn from others who’ve stepped off the traditional path.

Whether you’re just curious, quietly considering a change, or simply want to understand how careers can evolve beyond permanent roles, this discussion offers grounded insight from people who’ve done it thoughtfully and deliberately.

Learn how to navigate AI-driven change responsibly, while managing your brand reputation and maintaining trust.

Annual General Meeting and Board Member Election

Join us for our first morning coffee catch-up of the year. Members and their guests are free to attend for a relaxed start to the day, with a free coffee on us! Save the date for February 12, at 7:30am!

It's that time of year where we reflect on our achievements, and celebrate some of our community's talented authors with IABC's Annual Book Fair & End-of-Year Event, presented with Change Management Institute!

Change has never been as big, as frequent, or as disruptive. And this is the new normal for organisations all over the world.

As communicators, we're deep in the trenches, helping organisations drive and navigate change, while also battling with our audiences' attention being pulled in every direction.

For professional communicators, this means we have to adapt the way we approach our work to cut through the noise, and reach people effectively.

But how?

That's what this Masterclass is all about!

From the C-Suite: Perspectives on Communications delivers real stories from the front lines—highlighting what worked, what failed, and what distinguishes truly effective communication in high-stakes environments.

In this webinar, you'll learn how by simply understanding how our brains work, we can tailor our communication to support businesses to navigate change more effectively.

In this interactive workshop, you'll uncover fresh tactics to build authentic visibility, showcase your talents, and open up new career opportunities. You’ll also be able to update your professional headshot!

In this session, two of the group behind the world’s first Responsible AI Principles for PR and Comms (known as the 'Venice Pledge') will share the insights that informed these principles, and practical applications for practitioners.

In this practical, jargon-free webinar you’ll learn how to use AI to generate content that aligns with your brand, add human insights to make it unique, and train AI to understand your business.
