JCI European Conference 2012

The conference motto “Enjoy…every first second” relates to the atomic clock which is situated in Braunschweig and provides the time of the day for the whole of Germany. In such an atomic clock the length of a second is deduced from the periodic vibrations of caesium atoms and transmitted directly, for example, to all radio alarm clocks and station clocks in Germany.

As a JCI member, you have the opportunity to attend several JCI conferences throughout the year. The two biggest are the European Conference and World Congress. JCI UK sends a large delegation to both. If you go along, you will:

• see the big picture of JCI and learn how it works
• bond with the people you’re travelling with 
• expand your network as you meet many international JCI members 
• make friends with open-minded, supportive people who will encourage you to reach your goals
• have an enormous amount of fun.

Conferences offer high-quality training, lectures and keynote speeches (often on topics such as leadership, management and entrepreneurship).

They also lay on social events. During big conferences, different JCI countries host the evening parties. You could find yourself tasting sushi at the Japanese night, tucking into smørrebrød at the Danish party and slaking your thirst with sangria at the Catalonian evening.

JCI members find that conferences are a fantastic investment. You’ll come back feeling energized, inspired, and with a bulging contacts book.
