Guidelines for Co-operation between the International Association, the National Organising Committee and the Professional Congress Organiser

The objective of these guidelines is to provide international associations with a document which will: assist national organisations in making the decision whether to invite the related international association to hold a congress in their country; establish a checklist of the organisational tasks in holding the event; ensure effective communication and understanding; ensure continuity of traditions and ambience for the congress; indicate some of the benefits from working with a PCO.
