Vienna AGM report

In September 22th and 23th Annual General Meeting took place in Vienna. Our host was Friedhofe Wien and AGM took place in an amazing atmosphere of Museumsquartier in the centre of Vienna.

Many interesting presentations, lectures and workshops took place, focusing on new social habbits that are changing the landscape of our cemeteries.

Important part of the AGM were the elections for the news president and steering committee of the association. Lidija Pliberšek, candidate for president, won 46 out of 49 votes and became the new president of ASCE. As the new president, Lidija set a daring and challenging vision for the ASCE:

To get
every European citizen
in touch

with European cultures
resting in cemeteries.
