Gonzalo Perez Constanzó, Managing Director of Kenes Latin America, has been appointed President of the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO), effective February 19, 2012.
Gonzalo brings a wealth of congress organisation experience to his new role. A Buenos Aires native, Gonzalo began his professional career with Congresos Internacionales, where he worked for over a decade. Gonzalo then joined the World Bank in Washington, DC, where he was involved with the Annual Assembly (over 10,000 participants) as well as other World Bank-related meetings around the world.
Next, Gonzalo joined Tilesa OPC in 2008, where he would go on to become Director of Operations of the newly formed Tilesa Kenes Spain (TKS). In 2011, Gonzalo was appointed Managing Director of Kenes Latin America and is currently responsible for the development of this rapidly growing Kenes Group subsidiary company.
Gonzalo’s career highlights include stints as a Board member of the ICCA representing PCOs, President of the ICCA’s Latin American Chapter and Secretary of the Welcome Argentina Foundation. An enthusiast of his profession, Gonzalo is a much sought after speaker at training events, such as the IAPCO Annual Wolfsberg Seminar.
As president of the IAPCO and Managing Director of Kenes Latin America, Gonzalo will be travelling quite a bit and will thus be able to contribute substantially to the continued development of the congress organising industry around the world – with a special focus on Latin America. When not taking trains, planes and automobiles, you’ll find Gonzalo residing at the main office of Kenes Latin America, located in Santiago de Chile.
