MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Kendrah Da Silva, WFC President

On behalf of the World Federation of Chiropractic, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 WFC Assembly of Members, which will take place at the Tivoli Hotel and Congress Center in Copenhagen, Denmark, on May 5-6, 2025.

Since our last in-person Assembly in Gold Coast, Australia, our global chiropractic community has continued to evolve and adapt to new challenges and opportunities. The Assembly of Members is a cornerstone of the WFC calendar, serving as the supreme decision-making body of our Federation and providing a vital platform for our 96 member national associations to come together, report on their achievements and challenges, and engage in meaningful dialogue.

While online meetings allow us to stay connected, there is no substitute for the opportunity to meet face-to-face, share insights, and collaborate both formally during sessions and informally during breaks. The 2025 Assembly will offer a unique opportunity to hear updates on the WFC's work in advancing awareness, utilization, and integration of the chiropractic profession worldwide.

With our member associations spanning 7 world regions, our profession continues to thrive in diverse cultural and healthcare landscapes. This Assembly presents an invaluable opportunity to learn from one another's experiences and collectively shape the future of chiropractic, ensuring that chiropractors are recognized as essential spinal health experts within healthcare systems globally.

Looking ahead, the WFC is committed to implementing fresh initiatives, delivering on our strategic goals, and fostering stronger engagement with key stakeholders. However, our members remain the heart of our mission. By supporting, promoting, and advancing the profession, the WFC strives to make chiropractic care accessible to all people, of all ages, in all nations.

Following the Assembly, the 18th WFC Biennial Congress will take place from May 7-10, 2025, at the Tivoli Hotel and Congress Center in Copenhagen. Under the theme "Connecting the Dots of Evidence-Based Practice," the Congress will feature keynote speakers, scientific sessions, and interactive workshops, bringing together chiropractors, researchers, and healthcare stakeholders from around the world.

We are excited to welcome you to Copenhagen for what promises to be an inspiring and productive gathering. Alongside the Assembly of Members, a series of side meetings and collaborative discussions will further enrich our time together.

It is an immense privilege to serve as WFC President, and I look forward to seeing you in Denmark and welcoming you to what will be an extraordinary event for our global chiropractic community.
