IHAC to host Evolution Summit for a third year
The In-house Agency Council‘s Evolution Summit is returning for a third year to Sydney’s The Grounds of Alexandria.
Held on September 16, the summit will spotlight the latest thinking on team structure, creative operations and technology integration – with real-world insights from across the IHAC community.
Executive chairman of IHAC and CEO of -lution Chris Maxwell says: “This is a moment to reflect on how far the in-house movement has come in a short space of time – and look to the ever-evolving opportunities that lie ahead. From team design to tech integration and creative leadership, the summit will tackle the issues that matter most to modern marketing teams.”
This year’s program features eight sessions, including a headline international keynote (to be announced soon), alongside expert panels and peer-led discussions designed to offer practical strategies and bold new thinking. A networking session will also give attendees the opportunity to build connections.

Among the confirmed speakers is Ange Greenwood from Youi, representing the reigning In-House Agency of the Year and recently named one of Australia’s top 10 CMOs.
Mike Worden, partner and chief media officer at -lution, will lead a session focused on the shifting media landscape. Fresh from a Grand Prix win at Cannes, Telstra’s head of creative excellence Anna Jackson will join Uber’s global creative director for APAC, Adam Ledbury, to lead the Creative Excellence session.
Head of IHAC Abby Blackmore says: “The Evolution Summit has become a keystone event for this part of the industry, providing pioneering leaders the opportunity to step back, learn from one another and share their experiences. Having just returned from the ANA In-House Agency Conference in the US, I’m more convinced than ever that Australia is not just keeping pace – we’re leading the charge globally.”
