High Touch in a High Tech Future
IMC Summit 2025
Empowering Consultants to Navigate the Intersection of Technology and Human Connection
The Future of Management Consulting is Here!
Will You Help Shape It?
As trusted advisors, we've always known that true consulting magic happens in the space between expertise and connection. Now, as A.I. reshapes our industry, that human element has never been more valuable - or more challenging to deliver.
This isn't just another wave of change. It's a fundamental shift in how value is created, delivered, and perceived.
The question isn't whether to adapt - it's how to evolve while preserving the irreplaceable human touch that defines exceptional consulting.
This March, the IMC Summit in Melbourne brings together the brightest minds in consulting to unlock this crucial balance. This isn't a passive learning experience - it's an active collaboration that will shape the future of our profession.
