IAPCO, in partnership with FIEXPO Exhibitions Group, is proud to announce a ground-breaking initiative aimed at enhancing professional development within the Latin America region’s business and professional events industry. 

The 26th edition of the World Energy Congress, held in Rotterdam, was a major gathering point, attracting almost 4,000 attendees, more than 300 speakers and over eighty exhibitors. Our team at MCI The Netherlands managed and marketed this grand event; featuring an enticing programme of keynote sessions, group discussions, interactive exhibitions, tours and practical experiences. We took a green approach, using recycled materials and promoting green habits to reduce waste. 

NISHIMURA Ikuko, Congrès Inc. Congrès Inc. (Congrès), Japan’s IAPCO member, along with East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and JR East Building Co., Ltd (JR East Building) opened reservations on 1 July 2024 for the highly anticipated Takanawa Gateway Convention Center which is set to open in late March 2025. This state-of-the-art facility, located within Takanawa Gateway City offers direct access to Takanawa Gateway Station, making it an ideal location for various MICE activities. It is one of the largest multipurpose halls within Tokyo with direct access to the station.

PCO is not one task that stretches from the beginning of planning to the end of the congress, nor is it the thousands of emails and calls that must be made during that time. PCO is about not losing track and not overlooking anything – that is the real challenge a PCO faces.

CONVIN has accomplished an extraordinary feat by organising seven significant international congresses within just two months. This achievement spanned across three cities in Greece – Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion – and extended to Gothenburg in Sweden, drawing between 800 and 3,200 delegates for each event. This milestone not only highlights the remarkable growth and capabilities of CONVIN but also solidifies its reputation as a trusted organiser for societies from various scientific sectors, regardless of the location or scale of the congress.
