Perhaps could use Installation of (as given by IATE for konstituering av utvalg) or Approving the AGM? Sorry don't have time for any more input - but Appointment of the AGM doesn't sound right, and election of officers is too narrow (since they also approve the agenda)

Example sentence:
The President and the Executive Board are elected by the members, for a period of three years, at a legally constituted AGM
Note from asker:
| So how would you translate the heading "Konstituering av landsmøtet", Cetra - "Constitution of annual congress"? Because I wouldn't. |

Comment: "I ended up with "constitution of meeting", which sounds much better. It was trying to include "national congress" that threw me off. Thanks, Cetra."

election of officers
This is difficult, because there seems to be no exact equivalent in English.
My Danish dictionaries suggest
appointed a Chairman
or
elected officers
(Lyng Svensson, Gyldendals Røde & ordbogen.dk)
In your case, where all the various preliminaries are listed specifically, I would be tempted simply to leave it out, or write something like
The meeting opened with the approval ...
