The ICA Group has cancelled all in-person events and travel. Our staff are working remotely and are available for virtual support—please contact us if we can be of assistance to you or your business.

During these uncertain times, we turn to our communities for support and information. And we turn to our robust community of worker-owned businesses, social enterprises, and consultants for solidarity, cooperation, and mutual aid.

Thank you to our partners for identifying and creating the below resources for businesses and individuals.
