How often is the International Convention held?

The International Convention is held every five years. This schedule allows for a significant period between conventions, enabling participants to adequately prepare, reflect on the outcomes of the previous gathering, and address any changes or developments in their respective fields. The five-year interval ensures that the convention remains relevant and provides a platform for sharing updated practices, fostering international collaboration, and discussing advancements. Factors that influence this timeline include the complexity of the topics addressed and the necessity for members to implement resolutions and share experiences from the intervening years. This regularity helps maintain continuity and momentum in the mission of the organization while allowing for in-depth discussions and planning.
