Our 2026 Council Meeting will take place before the Eurovox congress and begin on 19 August at 17.00!

On Wednesday evening, 19 August, we will host our traditional “Meet & Greet”. This year’s format will be slightly different, due to limited time on the Thursday morning. The EVTA Executive Committee proposes to hold part of the Council Meeting on the Wednesday evening, starting at 17.00, to allow ample time to talk, meet and mingle. The meetings as well as the Meet & Greet dinner will take place at the HSLU School of Music in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Each association, preferably represented by its President and/or International Coordinator, will be invited to briefly share one highlight from the past year—something organised, achieved or developed. This will allow us to connect with each other in an atmosphere that is both informal and informative.

For the councillors who stay to attend Eurovox, a separate congress registration for the council attendees will be provided by EVTA.CH during the Council meeting.

Timetable

Location: HSLU Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – School of Music
📍Arsenalstrasse 28a, 6010 Kriens, Lucerne, Switzerland

We are grateful to EVTA.CH for hosting the Meet & Greet at the university where the Congress takes place, offering dinner at a special price of approximately €15 per person. EVTA will provide snacks before the meal.

Important notice

The Council meeting takes place at the same time as the world-famous Lucerne Festival, for which ticket sales open on 24 March. This means there will be a high demand for accommodation. We strongly advise you to book as soon as possible, as Lucerne is a popular—and relatively expensive—destination. While Airbnb and more affordable options are available, these are also likely to fill up quickly due to festival visitors.
