KEMA General Body Meeting 2026: Date, Venue & Agenda

By Mr. Sumeet Katariya, Founder & CEO, ElevatorPlus · Published 7 September 2026 · Last updated 7 September 2026 · ~3 min read

In short: The most useful part of KEMA's General Body Meeting is not the agenda item labeled "meeting." It's the five hours before it, when training and sponsor interaction happen, and most invitations bury that under the AGM formalities. Here's the full day, what each block actually means for an elevator business, and whether it's worth going if you are not yet a KEMA member.

Key takeaways

• The meeting runs 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM on September 12, 2026, at Broad Bean Hotel, Vytila, Kochi.
• Three hours, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, are set aside for hands-on sponsor training. That's not a five-minute pitch between committee items. It's a dedicated block.
• The 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM slot is one-on-one sponsor interaction, the actual window to ask about your own service area, ticket volume, or technician count.
• Association business, the financial statement, committee elections, and new-member welcome, runs 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and is largely for existing members.
• If you're weighing whether to join KEMA, the morning training block is open ground to see the value firsthand before you commit.

The Kerala Elevator Manufacturers Association (KEMA) is holding its General Body Meeting on September 12, 2026, at Broad Bean Hotel in Vytila, Kochi. The day starts at 9:30 AM and runs until 9:00 PM. ElevatorPlus is sponsoring the event.

If you run an elevator company anywhere in Kerala, whether that's installation, AMC servicing, or manufacturing, this is one of the few days in the year when most of the state's industry sits in the same room.

Quick facts

• Event: KEMA General Body Meeting 2026
• Organized by: Kerala Elevator Manufacturers Association (KEMA), founded in Kochi in 2018
• Date: Saturday, September 12, 2026
• Time: 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM
• Venue: Broad Bean Hotel, Vytila, Kochi, Kerala
• Sponsor: ElevatorPlus (Elevator Business Operating System)

The full day, hour by hour

Nine and a half hours, one venue, and the agenda covers both the association's internal business and a half-day of hands-on training before anyone touches a drink.

Why the training block matters more than it looks

Buried in the middle of an AGM schedule, "sponsor-led training session" reads like filler. It isn't. Three hours before lunch are set aside for ElevatorPlus to walk KEMA members through the platform directly. Not a five-minute stall pitch squeezed between committee items. A dedicated block.

For an elevator company owner, that's the difference between reading a brochure and actually seeing how AMC renewal tracking holds up when someone in the room asks a hard question.

What ElevatorPlus is bringing to the room

ElevatorPlus is an elevator business operating system that runs AMC renewals, service tickets, technician dispatch, and complaint resolution from one platform. It's built specifically for lift companies, not adapted from generic business software. At the September 12 session, the ElevatorPlus team will walk through how Kerala-based elevator businesses are using it to cut breakdown response time and stop AMC renewals from slipping through the cracks between spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups.

The 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM slot is set aside specifically for one-on-one interaction with the sponsor. That's the window to ask about your own service area, ticket volume, or technician count instead of sitting through a generic demo.

The KEMA business: what's actually being decided

The 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM block is where the association runs its own business:

• The Secretary presents KEMA's future plans and activities for the year ahead
• The Treasurer gives a brief description of the financial statement
• New member companies are welcomed and introduced to the group
• New committee members are elected

If you're already a KEMA member, this is the block that decides who represents the association next and where its resources go. If you're not yet a member but run an elevator business in Kerala, the "welcome and introduction of new members" agenda item is worth a call to KEMA ahead of the 12th. Associations generally handle new membership before the meeting, not during it.

Should you go if you're not a KEMA member?

The training and sponsor-interaction blocks (10:00 AM to 3:00 PM) are the parts most relevant to any elevator business owner in the state, member or not. That's where the practical, tool-level conversations happen. The 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM segment is association governance, which is generally for members. If you're weighing whether to join KEMA, this is a reasonable event to ask about before deciding.
