It is with pride that I,

on behalf of JCI London, welcome you to

the first JCI UK National Convention. The conference

organising committee, led by Sarah Beckwith, has done an outstanding job in organising this amazing weekend of interactive

training sessions, speakers, parties, dinners and lunches, which

promises a unique opportunity to be challenged, be inspired, and

develop leadership skills.

I look forward to getting to know you all a bit better over the

weekend; if JCI is anything for me it is about building friendships

and personal relationships. Make sure you develop these

relationships and last but not least, have fun and take

advantage of everything that London and the Convention have to offer!

Welcome to London

and the first ever JCI UK National

Convention! JCI London is proud to be organising

this inaugural event and it has been a privilege for me

to be the Convention Director. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing members on the COC team, expand my skills

and meet lots of fabulous JCI members from different chambers

in my travels to promote the convention. I am especially delighted

by the number of international guests we have attending this weekend.

We hope you enjoy the varied programme that we’ve put together!

The main purpose of the convention is to get JCI members talking

to share ideas and best practice. To this end I really encourage you

to meet as many people as possible and find out all the excitingthings they are doing in their local (and national!) organisations

-you never know what you might learn and be able to put

-into practice in your own chamber.

Have a great weekend!
