Dear Delegates, 

In light of the recent situation in the Gulf region and the Middle East, the Executive Committee has been closely monitoring developments that may affect the travel and safety of our Members. Due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding travel possibilities for many of our delegates, the Executive Committee has decided, after careful consideration, to shift the dates of the Annual General Meeting.

The AGM will now take place from 15–17 May 2026, instead of the previously scheduled dates of 10–12 April. Please be advised that the venue, hotel, and all other arrangements remain exactly the same. We understand that this change may impact existing travel plans; therefore, delegates who have already booked their tickets and do not have the possibility to rebook or cancel them should contact the ECAHO Office for assistance.

The Executive Committee will continue to observe the situation diligently to ensure that all delegates can attend the meeting in person safely. We thank you for your understanding and your continued dedication to ECAHO, and we look forward to seeing you in May.

Thank you for your understanding

ECAHO Office
