Agradecimiento especial a los miembros del hotel por su hospitalidad y a Jordana Wolff Aguirre y Raul Alberto Vallejo Martínez por hacer de este viaje una experiencia regia.

🎬 IAPCO AM&GA 2025 Highlights – Relive the best moments of this memorable experience! From 20-23 February, Taipei welcomed the global IAPCO community with open arms, fostering inspiring conversations and lasting connections. A city where tradition meets innovation, Taipei is a vibrant hub of culture, creativity, and progress. With its rich heritage, warm hospitality, and forward-thinking vision, it inspires connection and innovation at every turn. 🏙️ The energy and passion shared here have been truly contagious, reminding us that "We are of a Tribe"—stronger together. This spirit was reflected not only in our discussions but also in the sense of community and collaboration that defines IAPCO. As a global network of PCO leaders, we embrace Taiwan’s tribal ethos, fostering connections, personal growth, and shared objectives. 🌏🤝 A heartfelt THANK YOU to our wonderful hosts, GIS Group and Elite PCO, and our incredible supporters, The International Trade Administration of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Taipei Expo Foundation, for their commitment and dedication. 🙌💙 Now, we look ahead to Athens 2026, where we will embark on "The Odyssey Reinvented: A Very Human Journey Toward the Meetings of Tomorrow." 🏛️✨ Until we meet again! #IAPCO
