C-IN celebrates another addition to the field of nephrology
At C-IN, we have officially welcomed the International Association of Pediatric Nephrology (IPNA) as one of our clients. Outside the normal framework of the Association agenda, the future congress of the Association in 2022 will also be a part of the cooperation, which will be organized by C-IN as the official PCO (Professional Congress Organizer). After many years of cooperation with ERA-EDTA, the portfolio of our clients has expanded to include another in the field of nephrology.
The first IPNA Congress ever was held in 1968. Since then, the association has become a world-renowned figure in the field of pediatric nephrology, characterized by close collaboration with regional organizations of the same focus. After cooperation with four European Associations, IPNA is C-IN’s first international association to be managed by the Association Management Department with a membership of 1,500 members.
As the official organiser (Core PCO), C-IN is looking forward to the 19th IPNA Congress in Calgary in 2022. The first opportunity to become closer to the works of the association will be in nearby Venice, where the 18th Congress will take place in October this year.
After a 9 month transitional period of mutual discussions and fine-tuning, the Association's Secretariat is fully dedicated to the day-to-day agenda. The IPNA Association Manager, Lucie Semanská, is in charge of not only communicating with members and potential members of the Association, but also individual projects - scholarship programs, training courses and seminars, organizing regular meetings of the Association's management and managing social media and the website. “IPNA is really active and has a lot of projects. It's great that I can be part of something that has a real impact on the lives of others. IPNA is doing a lot in its activities regarding the developing world, where care for kidney diseases in children is still insufficient. Lucie also appreciates the openness of IPNA management to new ideas and trends. The words of Pierre Cochat, President of IPNA, testify to the mutual cooperation: "I am very satisfied with C-IN, the first months of our "marriage" look great."

Growing your Association´s membership base: Communication is key
It goes without saying that the membership curve grows faster if the association holds a congress in that given year. Discounted registration fees and other benefits are an easy attraction. But what if the conference is held every two or even three years? The expectations for the number of members are logically lower, but one should not simply disregard this as a non-congress year.
