2026 Macular Society Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is your opportunity as a member to review the Society’s activities in the past year, ask questions of the Board of trustees and vote on formal resolutions.

Our next AGM takes place online at 3.30pm on Tuesday 24 November 2026.

You may notice our AGM looks different this year. That’s because we’re working with an independent provider to manage the voting process and improve the experience for our members.
