The PCO - Issue #123 | Edition 2 (2026)

Issue 123 of The PCO Magazine explores resilient leadership, spotlighting how the meetings industry can lead through change and shape what comes next.

The second 2026 edition of The PCO – Issue No. 123 – focuses on the theme “Leading Through Change: Building Resilient Leaders.”

In a business events landscape shaped by disruption, compressed timelines and evolving attendee expectations, resilience has become a defining leadership capability.

Alongside thought leadership and insights from across the IAPCO community, this issue shines a spotlight on the LATAM region, celebrating the innovation, creativity and leadership driving business events across Latin America.

Bringing together perspectives from IAPCO Members, clients, partners and collaborators, this edition highlights how resilient leadership is helping shape a stronger, more agile future for the global meetings industry.
