GMID 2026 – Theme: Thriving in a Complex World
Following an overwhelmingly positive responses to last year’s virtual session, we’re excited to welcome back our guest speaker, Sven Bossu—this time, in person for 2026. As CEO of International Association of Convention Centres (AIPC), Sven will revisit key highlights from 2025 Meetings & Conventions Industry and share insights on what’s ahead for the coming year.

In a world that continues to evolve at a rapid pace, this year’s theme, Thriving in a Complex World, invites us to explore what it means to stay resilient, healthy, adaptable, and forward-thinking, both personally and professionally. Through thoughtful discussion and shared perspectives, we’ll touch on the factors shaping how we work, connect, and move our industry forward.
