60th Congress of the Swiss in the United Kingdom
7 & 8 June 2025
Come together to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine the future of the Swiss community in the UK!
This year’s Congress marks a significant milestone for FOSSUK and comes at a time of transformation, as the organisation reflects on its legacy and prepares for a potential transition in both name and structure.
The event will bring together members of the Swiss community across the UK, longstanding supporters, and representatives from Switzerland for a weekend of reflection, renewal, and celebration.
The 5 newly elected CSA (Council of the Swiss Abroad) will also be announced and this is an opportunity to meet them in person also. You can view the candidate profiles here >
The Friday evening panel discussion had to be cancelled. This discussion will be a stand alone event at a later date to include a Webinar.
The AGM will also be streamed online via Zoom. To join please click on this https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ydkF_TbaQUSm-J5Fy9a_xA link
