The IAPCO Dialogues Are Now Online – Join the Conversation!

The conversations that started in Athens continue!

12 November 2026

Following the success of our live Dialogues at the Annual Meeting & General Assembly in Athens, we are delighted to launch IAPCO Dialogues Online, now available through the IAPCO Member Hub.

The Dialogues bring together IAPCO Members to exchange ideas, share experiences and explore the opportunities and challenges shaping our industry. What started as engaging face-to-face discussions in Athens can now continue throughout the year, connecting our global community beyond our events.

How to Join 

Getting involved is easy! 

  1. Log in to your IAPCO member account. 

  1. Click on Member Hub → Manage My Account → Groups → My Groups 

  1. Browse the groups and join one or several Dialogues that interest you (under My Groups, on the right-hand side of the page, make sure all three filter boxes are unchecked to view all available groups). 

Once you have joined, we encourage you to: 

  • Explore existing discussions and share your thoughts and experiences. 

  • Start a new discussion by posting a question, idea or topic you would like to explore with fellow Members. 

  • Join a group video call when scheduled. You will find the joining link under the group's Meetings section. 

Bring Your Team Into the Conversation! 

The Dialogues are not just for senior leadership. We strongly encourage you to invite relevant colleagues and team members from your organisation to participate in the groups that align with their expertise, responsibilities and interests. 

Whether they work in innovation, client services, people management, sustainability or business development, their perspectives can enrich the discussions and bring valuable ideas back to your organisation. 

Please share this opportunity with your teams and encourage them to get involved! 

Every participant will need their own IAPCO member account to join the groups. If your colleagues do not yet have an account or are unsure how to create one, they can follow our short tutorial: 

Let's Keep the Dialogue Going! 

The value of these groups comes from your participation. Ask questions, share challenges, exchange solutions and learn from fellow PCO professionals around the world. 

Join your Dialogues today and help turn the conversations started in Athens into an ongoing exchange of knowledge, ideas and collaboration across the IAPCO community!
