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

The GS1 Global Forum 2026 brought together representatives from 112 GS1 Member Organisation (MO) countries and board members to align on shared strategies and advance Vision 2030.

With more than 2,000 participants joining virtually and in person, we strengthened collaboration across sectors, accelerated adoption of GS1 standards, and reinforced trust — delivering impact for industries, consumers and patients worldwide.

Hosted at the NH Noordwijk Conference Centre Leeuwenhorst, the GS1 community came together under one roof, creating exceptional opportunities to connect, collaborate and move from vision to action.
