The UICC General Assembly 2026 will be held on 20 October 2026.
At the General Assembly on 20 October 2026, members will receive a review of UICC's activities since the previous Assembly and will hear from the incoming President on the organisation’s priorities for the coming years. Full-member organisations will also elect the new Board of Directors and the President-elect for the 2026–2028 term.
The Assembly will provide an opportunity for members to reflect on recent achievements, discuss future directions, and guide the organisation’s strategic agenda through their participation and voting. This event will continue to strengthen the engagement and collective impact of the UICC membership community.
