Relocation Members

Members are invited to attend general meetings which take place four times a year and usually feature either speakers or discussions on topics relevant to the relocation industry. The meetings are held in English and are hosted by affiliate members who volunteer their venues and hospitality. The meetings normally start at 17.00, last for about two hours, and are followed by a reception which provides a chance for members to get to know each other better and do some networking.

Prospective members are invited to visit one meeting before joining. If you have any questions, or would just like more general information, please use the contact button on the left.

Affiliate Members

ABRA affiliate members are companies that provide services related to relocation and include, among others, moving companies, banks, hotels and residences, schools and medical services. Affiliate members are invited to attend the four meetings described above. In addition, the ABRA website features a Members Directory with the names and descriptions of all ABRA members.
