The IIMS Annual General Meeting 2026 was held on 2 June. Often rather dry events, an AGM is a vital part of what any Institute or Association does once a year. It was a great opportunity to inform and share the many activities being undertaken by IIMS with an engaged online audience. My thanks to all those who voted this year – looking at our records, we logged the highest number of votes in memory – and especially to those who took time out from their busy schedules to join us online as we broadcast the event live from IIMS HQ at Murrills House. The management board, many of whom were at Murrills House in person, were joined by the IIMS team along with nearly 80 other members online.
