Congress and AGM 2026 in Hanover, Germany
We would like to thank the German Group for a wonderful congress in a wonderful city like Hanover.
Our appreciation also to the Education Committee and the Research Committee for organising the Education Day and the instructors who led the lectures and workshops, all Committees for their reports and extraordinary work, and the Associated Members who did an excellent job as tellers during the AGM.
If you have any photos you wish to share with members, please send them to me so I can add them to our Congress Image Gallery.
The handouts from the educational days are already available in our homepage under AGM/Congress > Past-congress Resources.
Please remember to complete the Congress Satisfaction Survey that helps us plan future AGMs and educational days LINK. The closing date is 30th September!
