The International Council on Archives (ICA) is pleased to share the schedule of group meetings taking place on Monday, 27 October, ahead of the ICA Congress in Barcelona. 

ICA Congresses are not only a valuable forum for debate and exchange on key issues in our field, but also a unique opportunity for members to connect, collaborate, and advance the initiatives developed within our professional network. 

These meetings bring together ICA leadership, professional sections, regional branches, and expert groups to exchange ideas, review progress, and shape the future of our global archival community. The majority of the meetings will be hosted at the CCIB · Barcelona International Convention Center, with additional sessions taking place at the Archive of the Crown of Aragon

We warmly invite members to consult the programme below to view the meetings hosted by their respective groups. 

Please note: Meetings marked with one asterisk (*) are open to ICA members, while those marked with two asterisks (**) are open to the general public. 

If you wish to join a regional branch, please contact the branch directly to learn more about their process. If you would like to join a professional section, you can indicate your preference in My ICA Profile, depending on your membership category.
