Phew! Just got back from an amazing week at the JCI European Conference in Istanbul and I have had so much fun I can't stop smiling. If you ever think about going to an international event, don't question it. It is one the best experiences I've had in JCI. You get to meet members from other chambers, other countries and they are all so friendly and wanting to get to know you. There was wonderful socials, training, community work and business tours, just not enough time in the week to do it all. I was also lucky enough to represent JCI UK in the public speaking competitions and part of JCI UK debating team. It was a great chance to get to know JCI UK members better. So many memories and experiences I can't fit them into the blog, but one thing I would say, is if you can, get your place booked for Finland next year!
