Welcome to the JCI Senate in Finland Annual Conference in Imatra on 20–22 August 2027
In autumn 2027, we will gather in the heart of South Karelia, where rich history and today’s reality meet in a unique way. Finland’s closed eastern border makes this a truly exceptional time: the Annual Meeting in Imatra will take us quite literally to the front line, where strong and seamless border security is a vital concern for all of Finland.
During the weekend, we will have a unique opportunity to visit the Southeastern Finland Border Guard region, learn about the current border situation, and hear an up-to-date situational briefing directly from experts.
We will also get to experience a piece of genuine JCI history, as participants will participate the 58th Imatran Inkeri announcement ceremony on site – the oldest continuously running project of Junior Chamber International Finland!
The meeting weekend will offer deep insight into the importance of the region for all of Finland – not forgetting excellent Senate company, valued traditions, the rapids of the Vuoksi River, and Karelian hospitality.
Come and experience how our network supports us and our watch holds firm.
See you at the Border in 2027!
