EUROPE – The European Federation of the Associations of Professional Conference Organisers (EFAPCO) signs its 13th national member.
The new addition is a specially-formed group of PCOs in the Czech Republic, which will operate on the same lines as EFAPCO’s German members, with Prague Convention Bureau’s PCO group representing the country’s leading event planners: as the PCB – PCO section.
“After lengthy discussions with MD of Prague Convention Bureau, Lenka Zlebkova, I’m delighted to welcome our second new Eastern European member in 2011,” said EFAPCO President Nicolas Le Brun.
“Every new member country strengthens our voice at European and global levels,” he added. “And that is particularly relevant in bringing another geographical corner of Europe into our power base.”
EFAPCO already embraced Europe’s 11 associations of PCOs when earlier this year it approved membership for the newly-formed Slovak Association of Professional Conference and Congress Organisers.
EFAPCO is a non-profit institution headquartered in Brussels. The Federation complements the national activities of its members enabling PCOs to have a single strong voice in Europe. It represents well over 1,000 companies active in the meetings industry across 13 member countries.
