Dear IAC 2026 Community,

The 13th India Association Congress (IAC) 2026 would not have been possible without the support, participation and trust of our valued guests, speakers, sponsors, partners, delegates and the wider association community.

Held in Kolkata under the theme “Associations in a Changing World Order,” IAC 2026 brought together nearly association leaders and decision-makers from across the ecosystem to exchange ideas, share experiences and explore new pathways for growth and impact.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this gathering meaningful - our distinguished guests and speakers who shared their knowledge and perspectives; our sponsors and partners whose support strengthened the platform; and every delegate and association professional whose participation enriched the conversations.

At its heart, IAC is more than an annual gathering. It is an opportunity to strengthen India’s association ecosystem, enabling collaboration, advancing professionalisation and creating greater recognition for the vital role associations play in India’s growth and development.

Your participation and support reaffirm the importance of building a stronger, more connected and future-ready association community. The conversations and connections created at IAC 2026 are an important step towards turning shared ideas into meaningful action.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for contributing to the continued growth of India’s association community.
