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.
- 2025 / Oslo, Norway and Longyearbyen, Svalbard
The Arctic edition: seed vault mythology, Pyramiden, Barentsburg, polar-bear-adjacent caution, and the northernmost version of almost everything.
- 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.
- 2019 / Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan
The Uzbekistan edition paired Silk Road architecture with plov, trains, courtyards, and a more beautiful form of bleakness than the word usually suggests.
- 2018 / Baku and Ganja, Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijan edition: Baku, Ganja, Flame Towers, Caspian oddness, plov, oil-bath mythology, and a destination name that did not require much help.
