What academy alumni say

The Conference Organising Academy was established back in 2005 in Austria, produced and organised by Junior Chamber International (JCI)  Austria.

In 2012 the Academy moved to Estonia and started to be produced by JCI Estonia.

In 2021 the Academy had to be cancelled due to the global pandemic.
