World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders – 7th UCLG Congress
Statutory meetings: save the dates
10-14 October 2022, Daejeon
Dear members,
As you know, the 7th UCLG Congress and World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders will take place on 10-14 October 2022 in Daejeon, South Korea.
This circular aims at inviting UCLG members to include in their agendas the dates of the Congress and the statutory meetings, as described below.
The possibility to attend the statutory track of the Congress for all members is guaranteed including active participation online, however we would like to recall that as per the decision of the Seville Executive Bureau, the voting process will be in-person only. The Executive Bureau recalled that the strength of UCLG lies in the open dialogue and discussions that allow reaching consensus. It was felt that this can only be guaranteed with interaction in situ. Therefore, the voting procedures in Daejeon will be in-person. Online voting would only be allowed in exceptional circumstances linked to mobility restrictions for health reasons related to the current pandemic.
EXECUTIVE BUREAU, 12 October 2022, 14:30-16:30 (KST)
This will be the last meeting of the Executive Bureau for the current mandate. The new Executive Bureau will be appointed for 2022-2025 in Daejeon, during the World Council. The Executive Bureau will receive up-dates on policy highlights and strategic priorities.

REGISTRATION
We kindly invite members to confirm their participation in the statutory track by filling in the attendance form. Please note that this form is NOT the registration for the Congress. Its aim is to confirm participation in the statutory meetings and plenaries, so that the team at the World Secretariat can proceed with the adequate arrangements in terms of seating and voting for members of the governing bodies.
We remind you that registration for the whole Congress is available via the Congress registration page.
Early bird registration discounts are available until 31 August.
Group registrations are also available for groups of at least 10 people from the same Organization.

UCLGMEETS
Most of the statutory meetings and plenaries will be held in a hybrid format and we are pleased to share with you the interactive programme on UCLGMeets. As is now traditional, this living space will be continuously up-dated with interesting materials and resources, the UCLG TV, etc. You will also find there the connection links for the hybrid meetings.
We also invite you to consult the new space on the 2022 electoral process.

In due time, the nominations to the Governing Bodies will also be published in this space, as well as the candidatures to the Presidency of UCLG.
