The PCO - Issue #121 | Edition 6 (2025)

Issue 121 of the IAPCO PCO Magazine explores "Cracking The Code: Engaging Our NextGen In The Meeting Industry"

29 Dec 2025

How can we genuinely connect with the first generation of digital natives? Our NextGen meeting professionals expect more than traditional formats: they value authenticity, interaction and experiences that align with their values. This shift is reshaping everything. From integrating gamification and user-generated content to leveraging social media for pre-event buzz, what are the dos and don’ts of engaging them? By challenging assumptions and rethinking strategy, our industry can turn the “code” into a powerful opportunity.

Regional Feature: Europe 

The #121 edition spotlights the diverse and dynamic European region — home to world-class congress cities, EU institutions, innovation hubs, historic venues and a leading voice on sustainability and accessibility in business events.
