Emma McPartlanEvent Coordinator Event Management

ProfileEmma comes to ICMSA after working in special and challenging events in London, England where she focused on more corporate Gala Dinners and a major charity fun run through the streets of central London.

Emma’s role at ICMSA entails her focusing on the marketing and program side of events; from coordinating the well-read e-zines, sparking conference interest on social media and helping committees to build a strong and well organised program for all delegates. Within her role she also assists keenly with helping to make all travel arrangements for conference keynote speakers, using her well-versed customer service skills to ensure they feel happy and prepared for their journey to and time spent at the conference.

Emma also took on the challenging project of helping ICMSA find and implement virtual conferencing solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully helping to organise and arrange pre-recording online, studio recording and live online sessions for an 11 stream, 1,400pax Conference that had to be moved in mere months to be completely virtual.

Emma previously studied and received degrees in both Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts, which has taught her to be an excellent communicator. She also has adapted to a broad range of communication and problem-solving styles, which she can seamlessly tailor to suit her audience. These are all skills which she implements in her day to day role as Events Coordinator.

Emma has a keen interest in AFL, musicals, cheerleading and her dog, all of which play a major role in her life outside of the office.

Years of Service at ICMS Australasia

Emma, just wanted to express my appreciation one more time, thank you very much for being so flexible with my workshop not only today, but for months on end leading up to this point. I really appreciate all the work that you guys have put into it behind the scenes. Next social-distanced beer/cappuccino is on me.

Chris Shao, Student Moderator of Day 3 session ‘Through the Looking Glass’

ICMSA thank you so much for making Day 3 a huge success! Please pass on a HUGE congratulations to Emma and the ICMSA team. I’ve received so many incredible messages about the impact of today, and none of that would have been possible without all of your hard work! I can’t thank you enough.

Ryan King, Day 3 Academic Convenor

Thanks Emma for all your help on this… you’ve done a great job and saved me considerable angst. Efficient, professional and competent – could not ask for much more.

Adrian, Department of Agriculture, APPS Sales and Exhibitions Lead

I also was impressed by very thoughtful system you made (reminder mail or so.) I never saw the conference doing as much as you do. Thank you for the considerate and warm hospitality.
