The year's calendar

The calendar lists the Organization's meetings for the current year and the next. Each entry gives the date, venue, format, language, intended audience and registration opening. It is updated as soon as a decision is taken.
The calendar is published at the start of the year and revised every quarter. The major events, including the General Assembly in Singapore from 10 to 12 June 2026 and the Digital Market Forum, are fixed more than twelve months in advance.
To reserve a place, go through the registration page.

Reading a calendar entry
Each record contains a title, a three-line summary, the dates, the venue with its access map and the access level: public, by invitation or reserved for delegations. It also specifies the fee and the registration deadline.
A pictogram indicates events broadcast live and those whose recording will be available in the video library.



Filtering and searching
The calendar can be filtered by month, region, theme and format. You can, for example, display only the online workshops on certification, or the seminars held in Africa.
A keyword search makes it possible to find an event by its title or by the name of a speaker.
Subscribing to the calendar
The calendar can be exported in iCalendar format and integrated into most email clients. Changes of date or venue are automatically reflected in your calendar, with no further action.
An email alert can also be activated for a theme or a region. It notifies you when registration opens and of significant changes.
Annual fixtures
Some events recur every year on a fixed date: the General Assembly in June, the Digital Market Forum in the autumn, and the regional seminars in spring and autumn. They give structure to the life of the Organization.
The thematic conferences, twenty-four per year, are spread among Headquarters, Geneva and the regional offices so as to cover all time zones.
