Every year thousands of JCI members from across Europe get together for European conference. This year three members of JCI Leeds travelled with the 67-strong UK delegation to Malta for four days of training, networking, competitions, gala dinners and partying.

"I love the international element of JCI. I can go to a conference and surround myself with thousands of inspiring people, attend world-class training and key note speeches and make friends with people from around the world. A conference like this is something I believe is truly unique to JCI.
If you're wondering whether to go to an international JCI event, my advice is DO IT! Roll on Kusadasi in Turkey next May!" Vicky Bulman, Membership and International Director
Catching up with members from two of our twin chambers, JCI Dublin and JCI Glasgow.
“It’s always great to attend international events through JCI. European Conference in Malta was my third one, having been to Taipei and Rio for World Congresses. It’s a fantastic way to make friends from across the world, and by continued attendance it’s a great way to keep in touch.
“It is also a great opportunity to get to know your fellow JCI UK members as a conference bonds you like nothing else! I was so proud in Malta to be at the awards ceremony where JCI UK won 3 European awards.
“I don’t think you have experienced the best that JCI has to offer until you’ve been to an international event. Why not join me in Leipzig in November for World Congress 2014? It’s going to be GREAT!” Alex Byers, JCI Leeds President If you're interested in finding out more about the international side to JCI, including how to apply for a bursary towards the cost of attending, contact vicky.bulman@jcileeds.org.uk
