The 2018 IHEU General Assembly (GA) will take place on Sunday 5 August 2018 in Auckland, New Zealand, as part of several events hosted by the Humanist Society of New Zealand over the same weekend.
The General Assembly brings together representatives of IHEU Member Organizations from all over the world to form the democratic governing body of the IHEU. We hold our General Assembly each year in conjunction with a conference hosted by one of our Member Organizations. In 2018, we’re in Auckland, hosted by the Humanist Society of New Zealand, who are holding an international conference on Saturday 4 August.
