VIATEC is officially opening nominations July 1st for our Board of Directors for the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

We are incredibly fortunate to have an active, engaged membership reflected in our 14-seat board. To ensure a balanced representation of our community, 10 seats are reserved for Technology company representatives, while the remaining four are open to all VIATEC members who meet our criteria.
