Yes! We reserve a certain number of spaces for delegates representing offices providing services to international associations.

We regret UIA is unable to assist with travel and accommodation expenses as we are ourselves a small, self-funded research institute. We are able to keep the registration fee low for delegates from associations thanks to the assistance of our partners and of our sponsors.
Some associations have received assistance for this or similar conferences from their national or regional tourist boards or chamber of commerce, where there is a programme to support the work of international associations.
If requesting assistance from a convention bureau or chamber of commerce, you can perhaps underline the networking and promotional opportunities of attending an international associations conference: you will meet representatives of international associations from around the world and can tell them about the benefits of operating an association in your city, or of holding an association event in your city. For a list of organizations which have sent representatives to past Round Tables, click here.
For cancellations received by 1 October 2024 the amount will be refunded with a deduction of 30%.
No refund will be processed for cancellations received after 1 October 2024.
See the page “Programme” for an overview of the programme, and the page “Speakers” for descriptions of sessions and biographies of the speakers.
The format is in person. You will meet with experts as speakers, and there will be experts in the room listening: you! In the presentations and the workshops, the speakers will tell us about challenges they are facing in their association and how they are dealing with it. In the workshop break-out rooms you can discuss with the speaker and with all your peers in the room.

UIA - Union of International Associations - is a research institute founded in 1907 to promote and document the work of international associations. Its primary task is the collection and dissemination of information on international associations, fulfilled largely by its Global Civil Society Database, the basis of its two main publications: the Yearbook of International Organizations and the International Congress Calendar.
International associations are described in the Yearbook of International Organizations. With absolutely no charge, fee, or obligation. This is what we do, and what we have been doing for over 115 years.
The Yearbook of International Organizations is used mostly by international associations wishing to contact other associations active in their field, by academics studying global civil society, and by governmental offices (usually the tourist boards) wishing to be informed of international association activity in their area.
The UIA also promotes the work of international associations by organizing educational activities, such as the Round Table.
