The 2011 Panel of Conference Organizers (POCO) was held in Beijing, People's Republic of China, 21-23 July at Raffles Beijing Hotel, 33 East Chang An Avenue.
2011 POCO covered new approaches to planning and delivering winning conferences along with panel discussions, workshops and breakout sessions on everything that you need to know about managing your IEEE conference. POCO attendees also had the opportunity to meet IEEE Meetings and Conferences Staff for individual discussion and questions. Plus, many chances to network with other conference organizers and learn from their experiences and knowledge were offered.
POCO is intended to serve the needs of the IEEE Conference Organizer, through education, discussion and access to 'Best Practices.' It is a forum to maintain a voice for the organizer community, to learn about and discuss conference issues with IEEE Staff, industry experts and your peers.
POCO is comprised of seminars, focused sessions and plenty of opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas, success stories and challenges with other IEEE Conference Organizers - all designed to foster a sense of community and create a global support network.
There is no registration fee for POCO, and meals are provided. Many IEEE organizational units (OU's) will reimburse travel and lodging expenses for attendees. Potential attendees should obtain OU approval before registering, if they will seek funding.
