The time of the Congress will be 09:00-14:00 hrs. The Congress will be held at the Mäetaguse Manor Hotel & Spa (official hotel for WTDGC) which is 500m from the Disc Golf main course. This is the first time the annual Congress has not been held in conjunction with an Ultimate Championship since 2007. Our Annual Congress is composed of several types of discussions. First, there are the business matters of the federation requiring voting approval of the members: approval of the proposed budget, acceptance of the financial statements, approval of the Auditor, the annual risk assessment, and approval of key play related matters. All of these materials were sent initially back in June to ensure you had sufficient time to review them in advance of Congress. Second there are a variety of presentations made to apprise you of our activities: the Census, disc community survey, the report on the many WFDF sanctioned events, activities of the disc sport committees, anti-doping issues, marketing and broadcast, the work of the Commissions, and the updates from our Continental Associations.
