      <title>ICON Webinar: Designing Client Experiences that Perform (08 July 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The physical environment of a client event, boardroom meeting, or presentation space influences how clients feel, how decisions land, and how the experience is remembered - whether or not anyone in the room is conscious of it. This session introduces a practical framework for designing client-facing spaces and events using energetic principles, so that every touchpoint feels considered, comfortable, and conducive to the outcomes you're seeking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Learning outcomes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Understand how spatial design and energetic flow influence client behaviour and decision-making&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Identify the environmental factors that make client experiences feel effortless versus effortful&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Apply practical principles to the design of events, boardroom meetings, and client-facing spaces&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Leave with a repeatable checklist for designing environments that support the outcomes you're working toward&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Speaker:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 1em !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://iconapac.com/resources/Pictures/Stephanie%20McConachy%20crop.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="100" height="100" style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;" align="left"&gt;Steph McConachy&lt;br&gt;
Nine Lemons Feng Shui&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Stephanie McConachy is the founder of &lt;em&gt;Nine Lemons Feng Shui&lt;/em&gt;, where she helps founders, leaders and ambitious women recalibrate the environments their lives and businesses operate inside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Before founding &lt;em&gt;Nine Lemons Feng Shui&lt;/em&gt;, Steph spent 16 years in senior leadership roles across Asia Pacific, including leading the Clients &amp;amp; Markets division of PwC across the region.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Today she brings that same strategic rigour to Classical Feng Shui, treating the home not as a decorative project, but as the operational infrastructure behind clarity, momentum and opportunity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Her work blends ancient environmental wisdom with modern strategic thinking to help women create spaces that actively support the next level of their lives and businesses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Steph has been featured on national television, podcasts and industry platforms, and is increasingly invited to speak on the relationship between environment, leadership and momentum.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>ICON Webinar: Why Plain Language Matters (22 July 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In our information-rich world, plain language is a business advantage. It ensures your information can be found, understood and used by most of the intended audience - regardless of ability, languages spoken, age or literacy level.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This practical 1-hour webinar will cover:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;communication needs across diverse audiences and cultures&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;real-world risks of complex communication&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;the growing global movement towards plain language through the ISO plain language standard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;People trust organisations that understand what they need. By writing in plain language, you can improve your client experience, encourage compliance and build long term trust.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Speakers:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>ICON Queensland: Speed Networking (23 July 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="left" style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Expanding your professional network isn’t always easy. And knowing who to talk to and where to start can be half the challenge.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;So, we’re going back to a classic: speed networking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join ICON QLD for an evening of fast paced, structured conversations designed to help you make meaningful connections, quickly. You’ll spend around 15 minutes with a small group of peers, then rotate to the next group and do it again. Expect three to four rounds of focused chats that get straight to the point.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Groups will be curated around a range of professional and personal connection points. This isn’t about hovering or second guessing who to speak to next. It’s about meeting the right people and having better, more relevant conversations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To get the most value from the session, please complete the registration questions in full. We’ll use your responses to match you with the most relevant groups on the night.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>ICON NSW: Coffee catch up - bring a junior (26 August 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hello Sydney!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This month's Coffee Catch-Up is all about giving back. We're inviting you to bring a junior colleague, student, or early-career contact and introduce them to the ICON community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It's the perfect low-pressure environment for emerging professionals to start building their network. We also invite seasoned professionals to attend, share their insights, and maybe bring someone more junior along.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Whether they're a recent graduate, just stepping into their first marketing role, or still studying, this morning is designed to be a low-key introduction to the world of B2B Marketing and BD.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Look for the ICON sign and join us in a relaxed, coffee-fuelled environment to connect with fellow ICON members and expand your network of like-minded Marketing and Business Development professionals. Feel free to bring a friend and introduce them to the ICON community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Event Details:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font&gt;Please check both and dress accordingly if it’s a cold day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

      <title>ICON NSW: Coffee catch up - R U OK? Day but with a focus on workplace relations (23 September 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hello Sydney!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;September's Coffee Catch-Up is one close to our hearts. In the spirit of R U OK? Day, we're dedicating this morning to an open conversation about mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It's a chance to connect with colleagues, share experiences, and talk honestly about how we look after ourselves, and each other, in our professional lives. Whether you've got a story to share, a question to ask, or simply want to connect, you're very welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As always, it's a relaxed, informal setting - just great coffee and good people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Look for the ICON sign and join us in a relaxed, coffee-fuelled environment to connect with fellow ICON members and expand your network of like-minded Marketing and Business Development professionals. Feel free to bring a friend and introduce them to the ICON community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Event Details:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font&gt;Please check both and dress accordingly if it’s a cold day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>ICON NSW: Coffee catch up - pre conference networking (28 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hello Sydney!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The ICON conference is almost here, and this month's Coffee Catch-Up is the perfect warm-up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us to meet fellow attendees, reconnect with familiar faces, and build out your conference network before the main event. Starting conversations is always easier when you've already shared a coffee and a chat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Whether you're a first-time conference attendee or a seasoned ICON regular, come and get connected.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Look for the ICON sign and join us in a relaxed, coffee-fuelled environment to connect with fellow ICON members and expand your network of like-minded Marketing and Business Development professionals. Feel free to bring a friend and introduce them to the ICON community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Event Details:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;7:30 am – 8:45 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Challenge conventional thinking and explore new paths to growth at our &lt;em&gt;Sydney ICON Conference 2026: Uncharted&lt;/em&gt;. Designed for BD, marketing and communications professionals, the conference will explore how firms are responding to changing client expectations, economic pressure, evolving buyer behaviour and the rapid impact of AI and technology.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Across the day, speakers and panels will share practical ideas, real examples and honest conversations about what is working, what is changing and where firms are finding growth opportunities. From client experience and reputation to commercial decision-making, strategic marketing and business development, the program is designed to help BDMC teams think differently about the road ahead.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
