By statute IdV must periodically celebrate a national congress. Congresses usually take place every other year, according to the art. 8 of the party's statute. Up to this point, IdV held three national conventions:
- National Assembly – Rome, 20 February 1999
- National Assembly – Rome, 2–3 October 2004
- National Congress – Rome, 5–7 February 2010 (slogan: The alternative for a new Italy)

Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
