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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 2016 / Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan

  Kazakhstan brought the delegation into Central Asia: Astana futurism, Almaty mountains, long distances, and the possibility that the route itself was the point.

• 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.

• 2010 / Sofia, Bulgaria

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

• 2007 / Bucharest, Romania

  Bucharest added grand boulevards, huge buildings, post-communist texture, and early confidence that this annual habit had a specific flavour.

• 2005 / Riga, Latvia

  The opening entry in the institutional record. Riga begins the sequence that later becomes delegates, sanctions, white smoke, and the annual avoidance of normal holidays.
