About us
The PCO ALLIANCE NETWORK was founded in 2005 by Jacqueline Stumke, owner of Jacqueline Stumke & Associates, Event & Conference Management (established 1985). At that time there were few opportunities where PCO’s (Professional Conference Organisers) could effectively network with one another. Many PCO’s operate with a small staff contingency thus having limited time to continually do site-inspections, attend industry-related seminars of current trends and therefore remain professionally up-dated. A forum was needed for PCO’s to network constructively and as one, united group. Initially, a select group of PCO’s met regularly to share their experiences of Venues and Service Providers, discuss fees charged for diverse projects and other industry-related information. As new members were introduced to the group, the PCO ALLIANCE NETWORK expanded and gained even more recognition in the industry. Now, the PCO ALLIANCE NETWORK is a Brand and each member is proud to display the motto : “WE HONOUR OUR INDUSTRY”. The daily electronic networking between members ensures that their respective clients receive an extremely professional service. Proposals and Tenders can be more speedily submitted, particularly considering that they could include quotes from many Service Providers such as Teambuilding costs and ideas, Speakers, Transport, Gifts, AV Equipment, etc. as all those Service Providers who have been approved by members, are listed, are current and are therefore of the highest standard. The PCO ALLIANCE NETWORK has set high standards in the Event Management sector of the hospitality industry and is recognized as a professional Alliance by the majority of Hotel Groups, independent Hotels and Venues and Affiliated Event Suppliers. They are keen to work with the group as preferred suppliers and therefore regularly host the members in order to showcase their facilities and services, thus keeping members up-to-date at all times.

Some of our members attended the NH Jhb Sandton Site Inspection on Thursday 27 March and had this to say : “A very BIG BIG THANK YOU from ALL of us - the lunch was spectacular - an outstanding array of very tasty dishes for each course. Kudos to the Chef! We so appreciated you all joining us, and making us feel extremely important” It is at these ‘one on one occasions’ with venue staff that our members get to know their industry partners and suppliers and forge great working relationships. Thank you to NH Hotels and in particular Madeli Mollentze, Elanie Opperman, Chef Madubela, Don Jesseman, CHA, Cindy Valentine and Lindi Mthethwa

We congratulate member Yolanda Palesa Letsatsi of All Seasons Conferencing and Events, who popularly known for her annual event, "Women’s Healing Table" was recently recognised for her contribution to events management after receiving a certificate making her a Certified Events Planner (CEP) from Minister of Tourism Patricia De Lille. Minister de Lille said professionalisation of the events sector is key in maintaining South Africa’s status as the number one ranked Country for business events in Africa & the Middle East. The Training was Sponsored by Gauteng Tourism Authority in Partnership with SACIA, which is a SAQA-recognised professional body which awards several designations to industry professionals working in the communications industry. This Capacity-Building initiative aims to equip professionals with essential skills that will enhance their capabilities, promote industry standards, foster valuable professional networkings. It was a 12 module course in Fundamentals of Event Management which started in Nov 2024. Well done Yolanda! We wish you every success in your future MICE journey. #MeetingsAfrica2025 #GautengMeansBusiness #VisitGauteng #WeDoTourism
