The Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), the leading and largest association of image consultants worldwide, is set to hold its global conference at Makati Shangri-La, Manila, from April 24 to 27.
This marks the first time in the AICI’s 35-year history that it will hold its global conference in Asia.
Olen Juarez-Lim, founder and president of OJL Consulting Group and the first Asian president of AICI, will host the international professional organization’s 2025 global confab.
Topics that will be discussed in the conference include etiquette, protocol, personal image, visual branding, industry strength, networking, the need for presence, fashion decisions, and the power of communication.
Members from 38 AICI chapters in 60 countries will participate in the three-day event. This year’s theme is “Elevating Excellence: Breakthrough Strategies for Image Consulting Mastery.”
“Image consultants from the USA, Latin America, China, Malaysia, India, Australia, the UK, and other regions will fly here to exchange ideas, share success stories, push the boundaries of image consulting, and strengthen global collaborations. The conference aims to propel our profession to new heights as we seek effective strategies to help our clients succeed in this challenging, constantly changing marketplace,” Juarez-Lim said.
“AICI aims to provide an immersive experience that highlights Filipino hospitality, cuisine and the arts. This unique backdrop provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to experience the warmth and friendliness of the Filipino people, making the conference both educational and culturally entertaining. We are proud and delighted to welcome everyone to our country and showcase our rich culture,” she added.
