The international trend is for Core Professional Congress Organising companies (PCOs) to add Association Management to their portfolio and take on the role of Permanent Secretariat for an Association. This ensures effective management of the Association’s membership and database, reliable communication with committee members and financial stability, as well as confidentiality in all business dealings.
 
Benefits of using The Conference Company
An Association is assured of continuity and financial stability through their membership and administration of the database. Effective administration thereby alleviates committee members of administrative tasks; and a professional managerial structure offers a service to meet an Association’s requirements with regular reporting to Committee Members. In addition, effective and regular communication with an Association’s members gets the message to those whom most need to be notified of any events or news from an Association.
 
Our expertise and managerial structure assists an Association with public relations, lobbying and conference organisation for national and local conferences. On an international scale, we assist an Association with the submission of a bid for a congress to be held in South Africa by liaising with the committee, local and national government for their support, local and national tourism boards and convention centres.
 
We assist an Association with sponsorship procurement for conferences – annual and contractual
 
Financial reports can be submitted to Branch and Executive Committees on a time scale to suit an Association.
