Think Business Events has become an accredited member of the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO), marking an important milestone in the company’s growth and strengthening its recognition on the global stage.
IAPCO represents the highest standards of quality and professionalism within the meetings and events industry worldwide and membership is awarded only to organisations that demonstrate consistent excellence in governance, delivery and business practices, after a stringent accreditation process.
For Think Business Events, this achievement reflects more than two decades of growth and evolution. Since its founding in 2006, the company has delivered over 300 conferences across Australia and internationally, working in partnership with associations, government and industry to design events that drive lasting impact.
Co-founder Kim Stevenson said the milestone reinforces the business’s position as a trusted partner in an increasingly complex and global conference landscape.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our team, our long-standing client relationships, and the way our role has evolved from delivering events to partnering strategically with organisations to achieve their goals,” she said.
Think Business Events has experienced strong growth in recent years, expanding its national footprint and delivering a growing portfolio of international congresses alongside major domestic events.
The company’s admission to IAPCO also highlights its place within a select group of Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) in Australia who hold this accreditation, reinforcing its commitment to best practice and continuous improvement within the industry.
Co-founder Denise Broeren said the membership presents new opportunities to collaborate and contribute at a global level.
“Being part of IAPCO connects us with a community of leading PCOs around the world who are shaping the future of conferences. It allows us to bring new ideas, insights and innovation back to our clients and the Australian events sector,” she said.
As conferences continue to evolve, Think Business Events remains focused on creating events with strong strategic purpose, commercial integrity and meaningful human connection, core principles that underpin both the business and the IAPCO community.
