Member associations can bid to host either the World Congress or the Technical Conference. The gatherings have slightly different slant with the technical conference having a heavier focus on a topic predetermined for each attending association to present on. The Annual General Meeting of the organisation is also held during these annual get togethers. Three Zoom meeting are held of the Executive committee comprising up to two delegates from financial members annually. There is also a Breed Development committee that meets three times a year by Zoom to discuss items to develop the breed.
In recent years Charolais Charbray International has hosted a Youth Exchange to develop our youth and establish networks amongst younger breeders. In 2021 a Virtual Global show was held to focus on the many types of Charolais and Charbray bred around the world. An International Youth Photography and Video competition was held in 2021 as travel was curtailed by Covid restrictions.
The website has contact details for each member country and a wealth of other information. There is a pictorial view of National show champions, an archive of past international events and information on import regulations for some countries. It is worth a visit on a rainy day.
Dear Charolais breeders and enthusiasts,
On behalf of the Czech Beef Cattle Association and all Charolais breeders in the Czech Republic, it is my great pleasure to invite you to Prague and Brno, the venue for the 2023 Charolais International World Technical Congress. After the 2008 World Charolais Congress, it will be the second time in history that we will have the honour of hosting delegates from around the world.
The Czech Republic is a vibrant, modern country situated in the heart of Europe. Boasting a rich cultural heritage, the country offers visitors a wealth of attractions and impressive historic sites. Its capital city, Prague, is famed for its magical bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes whose mirror images have been reflected on the surface of the Vltava River for more than ten centuries. Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, is a metropolis of the Moravian part of our country with many historical attractions.
Our main goal is to find the right balance between the professional and social aspects of this event. Our programme will start in Prague and then we will move to Brno from where we will conduct various activities: attend the national livestock show with a Charolais championship, see top Charolais herds and in Moravia, of course, will not forget about a wine cellar with folklore music and wine tasting and many others. An optional post-tour will be prepared for those interested in getting to know other Central and Eastern European countries. During the 3-day programme, we will visit famous Czech castle Lednice (UNESCO) and capital cities of Slovakia (Bratislava), Austria (Vienna) and Hungary (Budapest).
We invite you to discover the Czech Republic - to immerse yourself in its culture, agriculture and rich history. We are looking forward to welcoming you all here.
Yours, Kamil Malát
CEO, Czech Beef Cattle Association
