What is Bapco?
BAPCO stands for ‘Belgian Association of Professional Conference Organisers’. It is a not-for-profit association representing its members in institutional, legal, ethical and associative matters.

BAPCO members are independent and qualified meeting organisers, practising their profession in the form of a commercial business.
A BAPCO member underwrites the Association’s code of conduct – the Magna Carta – which involves essential principles of professionalism and defence of client’s interests such as:
  • Making formal agreements on tasks and fee prior to the start of a mission
  • Use of independent accountancy and transparency in financial matters

The association also foresees to arbitrate in conflicts between members and their clients.

BAPCO is a founder member of EFAPCO

What is a PCO?
The versatile role of a Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) could be compared to that of a conductor of a large symphonic orchestra, co-ordinating all parties involved towards a successful and harmonious end-product.

A PCO takes on the role of co-ordinator and consultant, responsible for the logistic, technical, administrative and financial matters involved in the organisation and preparation of meetings. The outsourcement of this multitude of tasks allows the client-organiser to devote time and energy to the preparation of the content and to the realisation of the objective of his meeting - the area where he is indispensable. Moreover, a PCO organises and runs a meeting as it is happening, allowing the client to fully concentrate on his presentation or discussion, to be an attentive host, and to exchange information and knowledge effectively.
Taking on board a qualified PCO while preparing a congress ensures true benefits to an organisation. The BAPCO-label of a PCO is a guarantee for this quality!
