Index Communications Meeting Services (ICMS)

The growth of ICMS has been through repeat business and referrals from existing clients to their colleagues. This underlines our policy of building a good working relationship with clients and providing excellent support to conferences.

Peter Mainprice established Index Communications Meeting Services (often known as ‘Index’) in 1989, with the purpose of helping Organising Committees stage conferences and plan and administrate educational meetings. The company has grown and has been involved in over 300 meetings, including workshop series, major international conferences and exhibitions making Index one the UK’s leading professional conference organising companies. It has expanded its brief into publishing and other meeting support activities and has recently been involved in association and client company administration.

In 2001, Peter was voted Chairman of the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers with a keen interest in professionalising the industry. His term ended in July 2004 and he has since chaired many industry meetings and contributed chapters and articles to books and journals.

Peter is responsible for the financial planning and budget design of all projects as well as the Project Direction for all events. Additionally he advises and develops for clients the company and charity systems needed by clients.
