              Managing Director, ICMS

              Sarah Markey-Hamm is as passionate about creating quality, inspirational first-class conferences today, as she was when she was fourteen, eagerly helping out with stamping letters for mail-outs for her father’s business. Making it her life’s passion to continue the family tradition, Sarah has grown her father’s company through innovation, trust and a hands-on approach, ensuring her clients return every year for another amazing event.

              Sarah’s life-long commitment to conferencing and events is as evident as her loyalty to her clients. She is a respected innovator of the industry, helping professional associations connect, through real life, hybrid and virtual means.

              Even from a young age, Sarah loved learning about the different industries upon which her father’s conferences were created, travelling around the world, attending conferences in exciting and sometimes eye-opening locations, and noticing how each one was a little different to the next. She loved working out how she could make improvements, how could the next conference be better, to enable the conference participants connect better, be educated better and be financially successful.

              Sarah has always been naturally curious. She takes her work seriously, living by the motto, ‘do for others as you would do for yourself.’ Her thoroughness, ability to think quickly and her expert organisational skills, make her highly-sought after in her field. She finds that the value in her business is in her ‘hair-brain ideas.’ She gets to the essence of what her clients need in their conference and what they want to achieve, by actively listening and implementing exacting strategies that make each conference a success.

              Sarah has ensured ICMS has stayed deliberately small, yet world-class, so she still maintains a connection to her clients. She has created a coaching framework to ensure her clients understand the processes required to host a large-scale event. In the end, her clients have confidence in her and ICMS, and completely trust ICMS with every aspect of the conferencing spectrum, giving them the best conferencing experience possible.

              To date, Sarah has been Chair of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), Australian National Committee and has also held positions on the ICCA Meetings Advisory Group. She has been a board member of the Business Events Council of Australia (BECA), an active International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) member and past President of the Meeting Events Australia (MEA) Victorian Chapters.
