Organising your own conference or meeting makes heavy demands on your time, and also involves highly daunting decision-making and crucial financial considerations.
Drawing on their wealth of experience, contacts and expertise amassed over the years, PCOs are experts in all aspects of conference organisation and will take full control if desired. PCOs mainly deal with the administrative and technical management of a meeting, with consultancy playing an important role as well.
Securing the services of a PCO can save you precious time and money, and relieve you of the logistical hassle. It can also save you from the many pitfalls that can be encountered in organising a conference.
More importantly, members of the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) have a solid track record and adhere to the highest professional standards, as do Certified Congress Organisers, PCOs certified according to a certification programme endorsed by the Dutch Government.
