The 54th IAPCO Annual Meeting and General Assembly

28 February - 2 March 2024, Ljubljana, Slovenia


“In a world dominated by established norms and patterns, the conventional wisdom is to 'go with the flow.' It means adapting to circumstances, fitting in seamlessly, and making the most of the present. 

However, true leaders understand a nuanced perspective — rather than just going with the flow, they strive to 'be the flow.' This implies originating change, setting the pace, and becoming the living embodiment of progress.

To 'be the flow' means you are the source of momentum and direction, much like the Ljubljanica, the river in the heart of Ljubljana’s beautiful city, which has carved its own path over time.   You are not just reacting to external forces; you are the force. 

Such leaders anticipate the turns, decide the velocity, and navigate the obstacles. They are not solely driven by the external environment but by an internal compass, a vision, and an unwavering purpose.

Join us in Ljubljana and 'be the flow' with IAPCO…”

Our Local Hosts, together with the IAPCO Council and Training Academy, have prepared an inspiring and enriching programme that will stimulate minds, encourage collaboration, and inspire you to advance your personal and professional goals to drive your business growth momentum.
