Dear FIVA Members,

 

You are warmly invited to attend the 59th FIVA General Assembly in Salvador, Bahia on November 22nd, with the Commissions’ Reports scheduled for the day before, November 21st.

As in previous years, the event will follow a hybrid format, offering the option to participate and vote remotely. Still, we truly believe that being there in person offers unique opportunities for networking and idea-sharing.

The FIVA General Committee is truly excited to welcome you to the Gran Hotel Stella Maris in Salvador, a city considered to be one of the most beautiful of Brazil!

 

Best regards,

Tiddo Bresters

FIVA President
