Events For Members

To support our members, The IQ Club has created three programs to approach new markets and engage the wider business community.

All initiatives: Industry Insights, Sponsors/Speakers and Regional Roadshows, are by invitation only and tailored to build influence within the specific industries each member services.

If you’ve been invited by a friend of The IQ Club to join us at our next event, please register your interest below.

Industry Insights

Through the Industry Insights program, IQ Club members can show their appreciation by promoting outstanding businesses.

Event Sponsorship

Solidify the relationships you have with your clients by sponsoring an Industry Insight.

Highlight yourself as a pillar in the business community and make your superiors, peers, and your clients sit up and take notice.

Client Stories

By giving your clients a platform to tell their story, it adds credibility to your relationship and opens a dialogue for other business owners to turn to them for mentorship and insight.

Sponsors/Speakers

By pooling our efforts IQ Club members can engage larger audiences and participate in Sponsors/Speakers. By doing so everyone meets twice as many people as they bought along.

Engaging Accountants

The beauty of the Sponsors/Speakers strategy is you are not selling… you are facilitating a conversation of value.

It gives your audience access to professionals who can educate them on critical aspects of their business.
