The PCO - Issue #124 | Edition 3 (2026)

Issue 124 of The PCO Magazine explores how innovation and agility are helping Professional Congress Organisers stay ahead in an AI-driven world and create greater strategic value.

The third 2026 edition of The PCO – Issue No. 124 – focuses on the theme “Innovation & Agility: Staying Ahead in an AI-Driven World.”

As client expectations shift from “deliver my event” to “move my mission,” the role of the PCO is evolving from logistics provider to strategic value partner. This edition examines how PCOs are redesigning their services, skills and commercial models by combining insight, experience design, technology and responsible stewardship to deliver stronger outcomes for clients, communities and the wider meetings industry.

Alongside thought leadership and insights from across the IAPCO community, this issue shines a spotlight on the APAC region, celebrating the creativity, agility, innovation and leadership shaping business events across Asia-Pacific.

Bringing together perspectives, news and case studies from IAPCO Members, clients, partners and collaborators, this edition explores how forward-thinking PCOs are embracing change and helping shape a more innovative, adaptable and impactful future for the global meetings industry.
