Kayo Nomura Begins a New Chapter Beyond JNTO

On behalf of our entire global IAPCO community, we would like to wish Kayo the very best in her future endeavours. Kayo has been an active accredited PCO member of IAPCO, an IAPCO Council Member and host of our AM&GA in Tokyo whilst at Congress Corporation (Congres Inc.). As a recent destination partner with JNTO, she has also been integral in further advancing our mission in Japan and instrumental in supporting the professional development of meeting professionals there through the recent JNTO Hosted EDGE Seminars. To Kayo, you will remain a long-term friend of IAPCO and we look forward to continuing to collaborate in future, wherever you may be.
