JCS is proud to be a partner/member of the following international organizations. The INCON Group is a worldwide partnership of leading professional conference organizers and event producers. Started in 1990 by some of the world's leading PCOs, INCON aims to help clients by providing a "one-stop shop" - no matter where an event is held. Each of the partners in the INCON network is a prominent PCO in their own country and each has the benefit of belonging to a global company. By using INCON Partners to organize meetings on a regular basis, clients can reduce the need to repeatedly brief a new PCO, and thus ensure continuity of service from a company that already has a thorough awareness of your organization and its unique requirements. For more information, visit INCON's website. The International Association of Professional Congress Organizers (IAPCO) is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 to represent professional organizers and managers of international and national congresses, conventions and special events. IAPCO is committed to raising the standards of service among its members and other sectors of the meetings industry by means of continuing education and interaction with other professionals. IAPCO monitors the activities of its members worldwide on an annual basis. IAPCO membership offers a unique quality assurance for PCOs that is recognized by conference clients and suppliers all over the world. Learn more about IAPCO on its website. The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) was founded in 1963 by a group of travel agents whose first and foremost aim was to evaluate practical ways to get the travel industry involved in the rapidly expanding market of international meetings and to exchange actual information related to their operations in this market. This initiative proved to have been timely as the meeting industry soon expanded and candidates from all the various sectors of the meetings industry worldwide applied for ICCA membership. ICCA now is one of the most prominent organizations in the world of international meetings. It is the only association that comprises a membership representing the main specialists in handling, transporting and accommodating international events and has members in more than 80 countries around the world.
