Trips attended

• 2026 / Yerevan, Armenia

  The next official matter before the General Secretariat: mountains, monasteries, brandy, border ambiguity, and enough Caucasus energy to restore institutional morale.

• 2024 / Sarajevo and Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

  A Bosnia conference with real historical weight, mountain roads, Ottoman bridges, concrete textures, and enough weather risk to satisfy the movement.

• 2023 / Cluj-Napoca, Romania and Debrecen, Hungary

  A Cluj and Debrecen route that proved ICOM can still generate institutional complexity from apparently manageable European cities.

• 2021 / Aberdeen, UK - Och-Eye-COM

  A Scottish edition demonstrating that ICOM energy does not require the former Soviet sphere when domestic weather and granite can carry the burden.

• 2014 / St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia

  The Russia edition joined St. Petersburg and Moscow into one heavy, grand, politically complicated chapter of the canon.

• 2012 / Belgrade, Serbia

  Belgrade supplied river confluence, nightlife, Yugoslav history, concrete, and the sort of heavy-but-funny atmosphere ICOM likes.

• 2011 / Tbilisi, Georgia

  The Georgia edition brought Tbilisi, Caucasus hospitality, khinkali, wine, hills, and the Stalin birthplace day-trip association into the canon.

• 2010 / Sofia, Bulgaria

  Sofia continued the Eastern European run with Orthodox architecture, mountain proximity, post-Soviet residue, and practical city-break cover.

• 2009 / Kiev and Pripyat / Chernobyl, Ukraine

  A defining ICOM chapter: Kiev, Pripyat, Chernobyl, radiation-adjacent mythology, and the moment the archive becomes impossible to explain as a normal travel habit.
