We are O-so-ready for you to join us during the JCI European Conference 2022 in Bruges, from the 8th ’till the 11th of June 2022. But: we know that some of you are waiting on more info about the program. So we went all out this month and we want present to you a massive update. Are you ready?
A program update in March?
For those who are more experienced with a congres of conference, know that an update of the size in normally launched a couple of weeks before the events. But after receiving a lot of feedback from the members worldwide and knowing that a lot of you want to make the right choice after the covid period, we discussed this with JCI HQ. And they shared our vision on this item.
We told you, that we are creating the blueprint for the future state of a JCI European Conference. So an earlier update is the key to motivate those who are still in doubt.
Thanks to the ‘sync’ between our Team Content and JCI HQ during March 2022, we have collected as much as we could – based on final confirmation. And the good news is: we have a lot to show!
We have devided this update into keynotes, visits, trainings,… So you get a clear overview on what is cooking ;-).
