Strategic has announced that the International Communications Consultancy Organisation (ICCO) has joined Innovation Sprint London as an Industry Leadership Partner, strengthening the event’s mission to drive the future of communication leadership through collaboration, innovation and practical action.
Taking place on 17 September 2026, Innovation Sprint London is a new executive working session that brings together communication leaders, business leaders, organisational specialists, AI experts and industry partners to address some of the profession’s most pressing strategic challenges.
Unlike a traditional conference, Innovation Sprint London is designed as a collaborative working environment where participants will develop practical solutions to issues including demonstrating communication’s business impact, strengthening organisational trust and leading AI implementation with confidence.
As an Industry Leadership Partner, ICCO will support Strategic in bringing together senior leaders from across the global communication profession to contribute diverse perspectives and help shape practical recommendations that will be captured in the Innovation Sprint Executive Insights Report.
As part of the partnership, ICCO members will benefit from preferential registration rates, providing consultancies and communication leaders with the opportunity to participate collaboratively in the Sprint.
Orla Clancy, Founder and Managing Director of Strategic, said:
“Innovation Sprint London is about bringing together the right people to solve the challenges that matter most to our profession. We are delighted to welcome ICCO as an Industry Leadership Partner. As the global voice of the communications consultancy industry, ICCO brings invaluable international insight and expertise that will enrich the discussions and outcomes from the Sprint.”
Massimo Moriconi, President of ICCO, said:
“At ICCO, we believe the communications profession has a vital role to play in helping organisations navigate change, build trust and create lasting value. Innovation Sprint London provides a unique opportunity for leaders from across disciplines to work together on practical solutions to shared challenges. We are pleased to partner with Strategic on this important initiative and look forward to contributing to the conversations and outcomes.”
Innovation Sprint London has been developed in response to recurring themes identified through Strategic’s Communication Leadership Summits, where senior communication leaders consistently called for greater focus on practical implementation, measurable business impact and cross-functional collaboration.
The event will follow a Discover – Design – Deliver methodology, enabling participants to move beyond discussion and co-create actionable recommendations that organisations can implement.
ICCO joins a growing group of organisations supporting Innovation Sprint London, including Everhaze as AI Innovation Partner and the Public Relations Institute of Ireland (PRII) as an Industry Leadership Partner.
Innovation Sprint London will take place in London on 17 September 2026.
