What Every PCO Should Know About Professionalism As A Conference Organiser

Attending conference related information forums there are an increasing number of conference organisers who introduce themselves as “definitive”, “expert” or “professional” in their field – whichever that may have been ….. albeit, having been that kind of professional for two months, sometimes six!

When preparing to make arrangements for a conference have all your facts sorted out eg times of arrival, departure, daily activities, times of activities and meals, types of accommodation
