Professional Conference Organiser
Holland has some dozens of Professional Conference Organisers (PCO). As this is not a protected profession, please check the experience and knowledge of a PCO carefully. A PCO can assist you from the very beginning. They are specialized in the administrative and technical aspects of a gathering and can help you determine and realize your objectives. A PCO acts as a liaison between the organizing parties and is impartial; you remain in charge of the organization and programme of your event.
