What our members say

We just wanted to reach out and thank you all at PCOA for keeping us members up to date and informed every step of the way on how to navigate the new COVID normal world in which we are running our businesses in. While it has been an enormously stressful time to run a business you have made us feel more confident in what the future may hold for business events. Your constant connection throughout the last 18months has been very appreciated and has certainly helped on
keeping us focused and motivated.

Karen Jepson, Managing Director, Conference Venue and Booking services, Sydney.

Having been a member of the PCOA for the past 10 years, I have always found the benefits of membership to be extremely valuable. With access to education, training, and networking events, the PCOA have provided me with the opportunity to learn new skills and find out about professional development opportunities and industry trends. I also find the information about new product and services very helpful. My team and I participate in the annual conference which s is always extremely inspiring and rewarding. I have recently become accredited through PCOA as a certified Event Manager (CEM) and other members of my team are now working towards their own accreditation too.

Lidia Dalton, Managing Director, Expert Events, Brisbane.

I’m a PCOA member because of the people. PCOA represent everything I need to ensure I am up to date with all the things conference, Events and more. Joining PCOA over 10 years ago for me started out with the first Conference in Auckland, NZ. At that event I met some of my biggest professional mentors and started building relationships with some of the industry’s leading keynote speakers, suppliers and beyond. I engage with the PCOA many times each month with online learning and industry forums and at the annual conference, with 3 days of inspiring speakers, entertainment, and very focused business learning.
