Il Congresso Invernale è stato ospitato dal membro votante della CIA, il Conservatorio di musica di Praga sotto la direzione di Jirí Lukeš. Programma degli eventi: 2020Winter.pdf Oltre alle riunioni dell'Assemblea Generale della CIA, alle riunioni del Comitato esecutivo e musicale, l'evento di tre giorni comprendeva eventi come concerti, eventi educativi e impegni sociali. Un momento culminante è stato un concerto dedicato alla memoria di Milan Bláha e Václav Trojan in cui l'ospite d'onore ha incluso la signora Bláha e Václav Trojan Junior. Inoltre, un altro concerto ha visto la Czech Accordion Music, esibizioni delle compagnie musicali ceche Harmonikas, Delicia e Techgal, una crociera serale sul fiume e una cena ospitata dalla Czech Accordion Association. Durante le riunioni dell'Assemblea Generale, sono stati condotti numerosi articoli, tra cui l'organizzazione dei prossimi festival Coupe Mondiale e degli incontri del Congresso Invernale e altri elementi commerciali. Cinque nuovi membri votanti sono stati accolti alla CIA: * Bosnia ed Erzegovina - Association of Artists (Bijeljina); * Bulgaria - The Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts (Plovdiv); * Francia - Centre National et Internationale de Musique d'Accordéon (CNIMA J. Mornet); * Corea del Sud - Korean Accordion Association * Slovenia - Association of Slovenian Accordionists (Starše). La posizione dell'ambasciatore della CIA (un incarico esecutivo consultivo dal 2009) è stata trasferita a membro a pieno titolo del comitato esecutivo. Kevin Friedrich, che ha ricoperto la nomina iniziale, è stato nominato dalla Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG) e all'unanimità eletto per continuare la sua posizione di ambasciatore in questo ruolo recentemente ristrutturato. Attirando più di 35 delegati da tutto il mondo, l'evento di tre giorni è stato un enorme successo e sono stati offerti molti riconoscimenti al Conservatorio di Praga, membro votante alla CIA, per la sua eccellente organizzazione e ospitalità.
