Campaign Deadline: August 31, 2025

Deadline: July 31, 2025

At the 2025 IATDMCT Congress in Singapore, the venue for the 2029 Congress will be chosen.

Members interested in submitting a proposal to host the Congress must submit an application by July 31, 2025. The purpose of this application is to provide guidance for candidates and to facilitate the task of selecting the final site, for the Site Selection Committee.
