PCMA has selected 20 emerging leaders from the next generation of global business events professionals for its annual “20 in Their Twenties” program. This highly competitive program – in its 12th year – honours young professionals who demonstrate leadership, innovation, and a clear commitment to advancing the global business events community.
The class of 2026 represents organizers and suppliers from several PCMA countries, including Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Malaysia, Scotland and the United States. Supported by the PCMA Foundation and Experience Columbus, the 2026 class will be introduced during Convening Leaders 2026 (CL26) January 11-14 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“PCMA’s 20 in Their Twenties program stretches beyond individual recognition,” said Meredith Rollins, PCMA Chief Community Officer and Executive Director, PCMA Foundation. “These young professionals are already shaping how our global business events community learns, connects, and creates economic and social progress. When we invest in future leaders, we invest in a stronger future for our community.”
