From Vision to Action: powering trust, accelerating adoption and delivering impact.

The GS1 Global Forum 2026 brings together GS1 Member Organisations (MOs) and board members to align on our shared strategies and bring Vision 2030 to life. Together, we’ll collaborate across sectors to accelerate adoption, strengthen trust in GS1 standards, and deliver measurable impact for industries, consumers, and patients worldwide.
Building on last year’s success, we’re returning to the NH Noordwijk Conference Centre Leeuwenhorst — where the entire GS1 community will once again be together under one roof, creating the perfect environment to connect, collaborate, and shape the future.

GS1 Global Forum 2026 will be a fully hybrid event

We look forward to welcoming GS1 colleagues from around the world to Noordwijk-Amsterdam to take advantage of the unique opportunities to connect and collaborate in person. At the same time, we’re committed to delivering an excellent online experience, ensuring that every participant, wherever they are, can engage fully and be part of this important global moment for our community.
