The IMC Australia Asia Pacific Conference 2026 brings together Australia’s professional consulting community for a focused, high-quality day of learning, discussion and connection.
Hosted by the Institute of Management Consultants Australia (IMC), this flagship event will explore how human judgement, ethics and professional standards combine with AI, data and emerging technologies to deliver trusted, real-world outcomes for organisations, government and communities.
Taking place alongside the ICMCI Asia-Pacific Hub Meeting, the conference provides a unique opportunity to connect with national and international peers, gain practical insights from across the consulting ecosystem, and engage with the ideas shaping the future of the profession.

The ICMCI Asia Pacific Hub represents 17 nations across Central Asia through to Australia and New Zealand, including India, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, and Singapore.
Held annually, the Asia-Pacific Hub Meeting brings delegates together in person to share insights, exchange best practice, and strengthen the professionalism and growth of Institutes of Management Consultants across the region. Conversations span international, regional, and local perspectives, with updates on strategy, frameworks, systems, and the expansion of ICMCI membership.
Australia has been selected to host the 2026 Asia-Pacific Hub Meeting, with the meeting chaired by Asia Pacific Hub Chair Lydia Goh (Singapore), supported by IMC Australia. ICMCI International Chair Nick Warn (United Kingdom) will also take part, sharing the ICMCI Strategy through to 2030. The meeting regularly welcomes delegates from beyond the region, adding a valuable global dimension.
We look forward to welcoming Asia Pacific Hub delegates to Australia for the Hub Meeting and Conference.
Keynote Speakers Announced
We’re delighted to welcome Prof. David Snowden and Jules Yim from The Cynefin Company, who will open and close the conference with a powerful two-part keynote ‘Balancing human & AI reasoning in a complex world’
Prof. David Snowden
A globally recognised thought leader in complexity and decision-making, David will introduce practical, complexity-based approaches including SwarmCompass and Estuarine Mapping, equipping consultants with actionable tools to navigate uncertainty and design interventions without relying on prediction.
Jules Yim
Jules will explore why consulting craft still matters, our judgement, insight, and ability to sense weak signals, and how AI can be adapted as a tool that enhances, rather than replaces, human acumen.
Together, their sessions will challenge conventional thinking and provide practical frameworks for working confidently at the intersection of human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
