General Assembly 2026

This year’s General Assembly for IAEJ will be held during the FEI World Championships Aachen 2026, as this is the pinnacle of the championships held this year.

Once again, the organisation of CHIO Aachen has given us the possibility to make use of their facilities in a very busy program for everyone on site.

Mark the date 18th of August when we gather in the conference room in Aachen next to the press room and reception desk. At 9, the online Zoom meeting will open, and the GA will begin.

Members of iAEJ as of 1s of August 2026.

Presentations

Agenda for the GA

– IAEJ activities for the past 12 months

– Presentation of the voting results:

  • Elections of board members 2026
  • Re-location
  • Raise of dues

– Report on progress of administrative and legal changes and finances

– miscellaneous – open forum if time allows it

Tricky timing for a global association

We will start at 8:30 with coffee and doing the list of participants on site; the actual General Assembly will then start at 9, and it will be open to participants via Zoom as per usual.

We are aware of the difficult time for our North American members, but we simply have to adjust to when the conference room is available, and this is the date we think will be most appropriate in terms of the program on site => which is why we are there.

The full Zoom session will be available to view afterwards, as well as an audio recording. This will show the Zoom meeting and presentations as well as discussions, but might not show the whole conference room as we don’t have other cameras active.

Times for different time zones.
