What makes meetings meaningful in an increasingly technology-driven world?

We are pleased to share this thoughtful article from Boardroom, written by Vicky Koffa, following IAPCO Annual Meeting & General Assembly Athens 2026.

For the first time at an IAPCO AM&GA, we were delighted to welcome a select group of Media Partners in Athens, including Boardroom Magazine.

In this piece, Vicky explores one of the defining themes of AM&GA Athens 2026: why the “human journey” still matters in shaping the meetings of tomorrow.

From leadership and AI to sustainability, belonging and the evolving role of PCOs, the article offers a valuable reflection on how our industry is navigating change — while keeping human judgement, empathy and connection at its core.

Thank you to Boardroom for joining us in Athens and for helping shine a spotlight on the professionalism, expertise and impact of the IAPCO global community and the wider meetings industry.
