Needless to say, the challenge falls on the shoulders of a giant who is willing to take up this responsibility and show thenetwork the power our entity has – to deliver IC 2016 in the best way possible for students and organizations from morethan 120 countries, showcase Poland as a country in the best way possible, and along the way create experiences for thenumerous people you will lead as part of the Congress Committee.

Poland throughout history has shown it’s bravery and it’s time to show it once again.

Remember the two main reasons why AIESEC in Poland is hosting IC 2016 – to host an event that will spark and unitethe ambitious young minds of this country, and as a nation showcase AIESEC to the young minds that live here in theheart of Europe.
