Meet Our Franchisee of the Year

ICMI isn’t just a website full of talented people. Behind every recommendation, brief and booking is a network of experienced consultants who know their clients, know the talent and, importantly, know events.

Last month, the ICMI network came together in Melbourne for our annual conference: a chance to share ideas, hear from some exceptional talent and, perhaps most importantly, spend time together as one national team. Check out our LinkedIn for photos.

Our program included Michael McQueen, Jason Clarke and Peter Merrett, along with ICMI CEO Jacqui Timmins and Launchd’s James Begley.

At our annual awards, Denise Olholm-Flowerday was named ICMI Franchisee of the Year 2026 in a room full of talent and ICMI team members.

Denise has built her ICMI business around relationships, great client service and a genuine understanding of what makes the right talent right for a particular event.

And that’s also a little of what being an ICMI franchisee is about.

Our franchisees run their own businesses and develop their own client relationships, but they do it as part of the broader ICMI network, sharing knowledge, ideas, talent insights and opportunities with colleagues around Australia and New Zealand.

For clients, that means you may have one consultant who knows you and your events exceptionally well, backed by the experience and knowledge of an entire network.

Congratulations Denise, a very worthy ICMI Franchisee of the Year.
