With just over one week to go until ALDE Party’s 2026 Congress in Vienna, the momentum is heating up. Have you registered yet? If so, here is what is in store.
This year’s Congress will be unlike any other, as it takes place on ALDE Party’s anniversary year. After coming together as European liberals in 1976, we are now celebrating 50 years of fighting for democracy, human rights and freedom across Europe.
Our Congress will commemorate all the people who made our story happen. From the past ALDE Party Presidents and the trailblazing people who changed history, to all those who actively led the fight for freedom. Each Congress room is named after a past liberal figure of significance, which you can find out more about on our Congress website.
We will host high-level debates, roundtable discussions, award ceremonies and much more. You can experience the grand opening of our 50th anniversary exhibition, visit the liberal village area to talk to our partners and friends, or take part in breakout sessions.
This year we will even have games in store, with prizes for those who can complete a set of challenges across this special weekend.
Check out this year’s Congress programme to find out all the details, we are looking forward to seeing you there!
