General Assembly

Brussels, Belgium

Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place 
Rue A. Orts 3-7, 1000 Brussels, Belgium

13th and 14th November 2026 

 

Hosted by BEHVA: Belgian Historic Vehicle Association, the FIVA ANF in Belgium.

 

Dear FIVA Members,

 

It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 60th FIVA General Assembly, which will take place in Brussels on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November 2026, with the Commissions' Reports scheduled for Friday 13 November.

This year's General Assembly is particularly special as it marks FIVA's 60th Anniversary. For six decades, FIVA has been dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting historic vehicles as an important part of our shared cultural heritage. This milestone offers us a wonderful opportunity not only to celebrate our achievements, but also to shape together the future of our international movement.

As in previous years, the General Assembly will be held in a hybrid format, allowing members to participate and vote remotely. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope that as many of you as possible will join us in person. Meeting face to face remains the best way to strengthen our friendships, exchange ideas and work together on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

I very much look forward to welcoming you to Brussels and celebrating this important milestone together.

 

Kind regards,

Alberto Scuro

President, FIVA
