IAM Virtual Global Conference 2026 

Connected World – Shaping Our Future 

8 & 15 September 2026 | Virtual Conference 

 

The IAM Virtual Global Conference will take place across two days to accommodate our global audience. Join us on: 

  • Day One: Tuesday 8 September, 08:30–11:30 UTC (09:30–12:30 BST) 
  • Day Two: Tuesday 15 September, 12:30–15:30 UTC (13:30–16:30 BST) 

 

Organizations across the world are under growing pressure to deliver outcomes that truly matter, against a backdrop of accelerating political, regulatory, technological and socio-economic change. These outcomes are rarely achieved in isolation. Instead, they emerge when systems of assets, organizations and sectors connect and work together across boundaries, disciplines, and geographies. 

As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, organizations are more aware of how their decisions and outputs affect others. This is creating a more complex and volatile operating environment — but also opening up new opportunities to collaborate, share value and address both current and future challenges on a global scale. 

The IAM Virtual Global Conference 2026 builds on the theme of the IAM Global Conference while recognizing that the virtual format offers a distinct and complementary experience. Content will differ from the in-person conference and each virtual session will be unique, bringing fresh perspectives, speakers and discussions tailored to a global online audience. 

Through expert-led virtual sessions, the conference will explore how asset management provides the principles, practices and leadership needed to deliver connected systems of assets in an international, digital context. It will focus on how organizations can navigate complexity, connect thinking across regions, and realize better outcomes for society. 

 

Key themes include: 

  • Navigating volatility and complexity – understanding the challenges and opportunities of long-term thinking in a rapidly changing world 
  • From silos to systems – building connections across sectors, organizations and geographies to achieve shared goals 
  • Measuring what matters – exploring the different dimensions of value and how they can be brought together in decision-making
