The 2026 IAF Annual General Meeting will take place in Sneem, County Kerry, Ireland, from Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 November 2026, hosted by the Irish Hawking Club.

Although the meeting was originally planned to be held in China, it has unfortunately not been possible to secure the necessary approvals in time. We sincerely thank our colleagues at the Capital Falconry Heritage Conservation Academy for their tireless efforts, and the Irish Hawking Club for generously stepping in at very short notice, ten years after last welcoming the IAF to Sneem in 2016.

The Council of Delegates meeting will be held on Thursday 19 November, with participation possible both in person and via Zoom, accompanied by hawking and associated activities in the days that follow.

Further details on the programme, accommodation and registration will be shared within the next week with our member organisations.
