Join us in Munich from 16–19 June 2026 for the IFES World Summit 2026 as we come together under the theme “Navigating Change, Shaping What’s Next.”

In a period defined by rapid transformation across business, technology, talent, sustainability and global markets, this year’s Summit invites our global community to look ahead with clarity, curiosity and intent.

Change is no longer something the exhibition and events industry can simply respond to. It is something we must actively understand, anticipate and help direct. The IFES World Summit 2026 will create space for exactly that: open conversation, practical insight and international exchange around the forces shaping our sector and the opportunities emerging alongside them. The Summit will explore how our industry can navigate this change with confidence while helping to shape a stronger, smarter and more resilient future.

Set in Munich, a city recognised for precision, progress, global connectivity and innovation, the Summit offers a fitting setting for these discussions. Munich reflects the balance between established expertise and forward-looking ideas that is central to this year’s theme, making it an ideal backdrop for meaningful exchange and fresh perspectives.

Over four days, delegates will gather to share perspectives, build relationships and explore how our industry can remain agile, collaborative and future-focused. Whether you are a long-standing member or a first-time participant, Munich 2026 will be an opportunity to engage with the people, ideas and partnerships helping define what comes next.
