The entire IPA family gathers to review the events of the previous year and determines the future direction for the IPA.<\/p>\n<p>The World Congress is a prestigious IPA event which has been hosted annually since 1955, when Arthur Troop worked untiringly to form the foundations of other National Sections of the IPA. By this year, there were Sections in the majority of Western Europe, and Arthur Troop became the first International Secretary General at this historic event.<\/p>\n<p>The IPA World Congress culminates in a week filled with friendship, laughter and joy. It is where the IPA family reunites every year and alongside the main agenda, provides participants with fantastic entertainment, meals (including a gala dinner) and opportunities to socialise with friends from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>The main agenda of the World Congress deals with <strong>motions <\/strong>that are proposed by both National Sections and the International Executive Board (IEB), which are then voted on by the representatives of each National Section (one delegate and up to two observers), as well as the IEB having a collective vote, and using a majority voting system. Elections are also held to determine the members of the IEB every four years.<\/p>\n<h3>Cancellation of the IPA World Congress 2020 + New dates for 2021<\/h3>\n<p>The entire world has been affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,\u00a0 and many countries and governments across the world are enforcing strict measures and regulations in order to moderate the spread of the virus. This has led to lockdowns, national borders being closed, bans on travelling, gatherings being prohibited, and much more, across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty of how this global event will play out in the near future, the IEB, in coordination with IPA Spain, have decided to cancel the upcoming 65th World Congress which was due to be held in Lloret de Mar, part of the Costa Brava, from 13-18 October 2020. Alongside this, the subsequent Friendship Week has also been cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>These unprecedented times are affecting everyone across the world, and it seems that it will remain with us for a while. The health and safety of our members and their families is a top priority, but rest assured we will meet again in the future to celebrate the friendship of the IPA.<\/p>\n<p>The IEB and IPA Spain have agreed to postpone the 65th IPA World Congress and Friendship Week until the following dates, at the same location in Spain:<\/p>\n<p><strong>65th IPA World Congress: 5 &#8211; 10 October 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friendship Week: 10 &#8211; 17 October 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbz61m4m-8d6f77b68efdd1e6676ad334280d4c6a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kbz61m4m-8d6f77b68efdd1e6676ad334280d4c6a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kbz61m4m-8d6f77b68efdd1e6676ad334280d4c6a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kbz61m4m-8d6f77b68efdd1e6676ad334280d4c6a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_social_share'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-3637 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-3637 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-300x217.png\" alt='' title='wc2021'  height=\"217\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-1030x746.png 1030w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-768x557.png 768w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-1536x1113.png 1536w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-1500x1087.png 1500w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021-705x511.png 705w, https:\/\/ipalarnaca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/wc2021.png 1660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-av_social_share-98ab2f174fe6cac4a642805596fa208b av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><\/div><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seminars"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
