The last few days at the Associations World Congress 2026, have been an exceptional time in the Algarve, meeting with Association Executives from all around the world.
South Africa and Africa are hot on the lips of many people we spoke to and itโs so encouraging to hear the desire to host events on the continent.
The Welcome Reception and Congress Dinner was hosted at Tivoli Hotel in beautiful Carvoeiro, Portugal and it was on this spectacular backdrop that we met new association leaders and made new friends. The social events are where the real relationships are built!
Thank you to the region of Lagoa and Linda Pereira, Sara and Alexandrina for hosting this incredible event and for truly investing in the growth of associations and understanding the importance of association conferences and how they can impact the economy in a region.
