CORPORATE EXPLAINER:
ICE IS NOW ICEN
WHAT IS ICEN?
The International Corporate Events Network (ICEN) is a global, member-led community created exclusively for in-house corporate event leaders.
Formerly known as ICE, the Network brings together professionals responsible for planning, delivering and measuring events at scale — across industries, regions and roles. ICEN exists to support those professionals through practical insight, shared experience and meaningful connection.
WHY THE CHANGE?
As the community has grown internationally, the name International Corporate Events Network better reflects who we are today.
The addition of Network clarifies our role as a connector and convenor for in-house event leaders globally. It reflects the strength of the relationships within the community and the value of learning from one another — not just through events, but year-round.
WHAT’S CHANGING?
You’ll start to see our new name and branding rolled out across our website, communications and materials.
That’s it.
WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME?
Everything that matters.
- The community remains exclusively for in-house corporate event professionals
- Our events, awards, research and learning programmes continue as before
- The people behind the Network remain the same
- Our focus on practical insight, honest discussion and shared experience is unchanged
ICEN is an evolution of the same community — not a new organisation.
WHAT DOES THE NETWORK OFFER?
Membership of the Network provides access to:
- Focused in-person and virtual gatherings
- Awards and conferences across the UK, Europe and the US
- Peer discussion, benchmarking and shared learning
- Research, guidance and practical tools for in-house teams
All designed to support the strategic role of events within organisations.
WHO IS ICEN FOR?
ICEN is designed for professionals who spend the majority of their time organising, managing or marketing events and live experiences within their organisation — whether your role sits in events, marketing, communications or a related function.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
If you’re already part of the community, there’s nothing you need to do.
If you’re not yet a member, you’re very welcome to join the Network. Membership is free for in-house corporate event professionals.
If you have any questions about the Network or the name change, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’d be happy to help.
