PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE ORGANIZER

What is a PCO?

A Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) is an organisation specialising in planning and organising conferences, meetings and exhibitions. A PCO has the expertise, dedicated human and technical resources and contacts to assist you with the planning and organisation of your conference. He will also save you the difficulty of that time commitment and the day to day logistical hassle.
The services provided by a reliable PCO are complex and extensive. A PCO is responsible for ensuring that the conference project is kept both on schedule and on budget.

The versatile role of a Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) could be compared to that of a conductor of a large symphonic orchestra, co-ordinating all parties involved towards a successful and harmonious end-product.

A PCO takes on the role of co-ordinator and consultant, responsible for the logistic, technical, administrative and financial matters involved in the organisation and preparation of meetings. The outsourcement of this multitude of tasks allows the client-organiser to devote time and energy to the preparation of the content and to the realisation of the objective of his meeting - the area where he is indispensable. Moreover, a PCO organises and runs a meeting as it is happening, allowing the client to fully concentrate on his presentation or discussion, to be an attentive host, and to exchange information and knowledge effectively.

Taking on board a qualified PCO while preparing a congress ensures true benefits to an organisation. The BAPCO-label of a PCO is a guarantee for this quality!
