Hardly recovered from #TIAFT2024 in Sankt Gallen and on the road again to #IATDMCT2024 in Banff, joined by (R to L) Laura Boffel, Liesl, Hanna De Baets, Kevin Vandenbroucke, and ... a #BidBook to host #IATDMCT2028 in the beautiful city of #Ghent, 10 years after #TIAFT2018.

While the 🌞 awakens the mountains surrounding #Banff, early morning Committee meetings are ongoing @ #IATDMCT2024. Thanks to all members engaged in the diverse IATDMCT Committees for the many activities and contributions.
