The conversations that start in panels continue over coffee\, dinners\, and late‑night debates. Professional exchanges turn into trusted partnerships\, and partnerships into friendships. The relationships built here become the connective tissue that strengthens cooperation long after everyone returns home. \nAgenda\nThe agenda for this year’s congress is now in its final stages of development. Organizers are aligning speakers\, refining panel themes\, and sequencing events to balance professional content with opportunities for collaboration and engagement. As final confirmations come in from participating nations and partner organizations\, the schedule is being shaped to highlight modernization\, reserve‑force integration\, and the relationship‑building that keeps delegations returning year after year. \n• 30 August\n• 1 September: Practical application session for the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) international certification\n• 2 September\n• 3 September: Congress in session\n• 4 September: Congress in session\n• 5 September: Gala \nRegistration (REGISTER NOW)\n• Military Fee: $410\nIncludes the welcome cocktail reception\, lunch and coffee breaks on Thursday and Friday\, the gala dinner\, and transfers between the referenced hotels and congress activities.

Participants who complete the program will receive an international TECC certification\, as well as a military diploma by UNOR. \nThis is an optional event and is not included in your registration.
