Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM)
to be held in Rome, Italy, on Wednesday 11 November 2026
The purpose of the AGM is to ensure that INTERCARGO meets its statutory responsibilities in accordance with current UK Statutory Company Law, noting that INTERCARGO has its Registered Office in England and is a UK Registered Company.
By custom and practice, the AGM is short and deals with issues such as the financial position of INTERCARGO, the setting of membership fees for the coming year and the election of office bearers (see below).
The Chair may sum up the activities of the past year before giving a short summary of the priorities for next year – as decided by Members.
The meeting may be attended by any INTERCARGO Member subject to previous registration – please use the registration links found at this webpage (Member login is required): https://www.intercargo.org/intercargo-2026-autumn-meetings/
The Agenda of the AGM will be circulated closer to the meeting and will also be posted at this webpage.
