IBCO - Instituto Brasileiro dos Consultores de Organização - membro do ICMCI - São Paulo - Brasil

I am writing to solicit your interest / input for hosting the 2012 and 2013 Hub meetings (Europe, Asia and America), the 2012 Annual Meeting and 2013 Congress.  The 2012 meeting will coincide with ICMCI’s 25th anniversary, and is expected to be “extra special.”

While ICMCI will organize the content of the meeting agendas, all other arrangements are the responsibility of the hosting member.  Every host defines their own approach to the meeting; in most cases, hosts have benefited via publicity, meetings with stakeholders, and encouragement of their members as a result of the ICMCI visit.  Please note that the host Institute assumes full financial responsibility for the meeting. 

Dear Institute Officers, Executive Directors, and Trustees,

I am writing to solicit your interest / input for hosting the 2012 and 2013 Hub meetings (Europe, Asia and America), the 2012 Annual Meeting and 2013 Congress. The 2012 meeting will coincide with ICMCI’s 25th anniversary, and is expected to be “extra special.”
While ICMCI will organize the content of the meeting agendas, all other arrangements are the responsibility of the hosting member. Every host defines their own approach to the meeting; in most cases, hosts have benefited via publicity, meetings with stakeholders, and encouragement of their members as a result of the ICMCI visit. Please note that the host Institute assumes full financial responsibility for the meeting.
The process for selecting the meeting sites will be as follows:
• Institutes interested in hosting the meeting for 2012 or for 2013, or are flexible in hosting in either of these years shall submit their interest to me by midnight GMT Nov 3, 2011.
• ExCom will make the decision for a short list based on those responses. This decision will be made by November 7, 2011.
• Those institutes making the short list will be requested to submit a formal RFP by midnight GMT, November 30. The RFP will include key questions and evaluation criteria, including ICMCI member benefits and projected costs.
• ExCom will make the final decision for location of 2012 and 2013 at the ExCom meeting on December 11, 2011, and the hosting institute(s) will be notified within 3 days.

I have attached the RFP so that you can get an idea of the details the bid should cover and what we will be looking at for the meeting selection. Additionally, the ICMCI website has some background on planning a meeting, http://www.icmci.org/?page=8816954.
If your Institute is interested in hosting one of these meetings, please send me a short note (with a copy to the Secretariat) by midnight GMT, October 31 indicating which meeting(s) your Institute is interested in hosting – my address is Este endereço de e-mail está protegido contra spambots.
