The supreme governing body of FIT is the Statutory Congress. The Congress is composed of delegates from regular members. The Congress meets every three years at a place and approximate date determined by the preceding Congress.

The Statutory Congress is followed by a World Congress of translators and interpreters.

The next Statutory Congress and World Congress will be held in 2020 in Varadero, Cuba. Statutory Congress will be held on 1 and 2 December 2020, while the FIT World Congress will be from 3 to 5 December 2020.
