Global Labor MarketConference (GLMC) 2026

Be part of the global dialogue shaping the future of work at the Global Labor Market
Conference (GLMC) 2026. Taking place January 26–27 at KAICC in Riyadh, GLMC
convenes policymakers, business leaders, international organizations, and academic
experts to address the structural shifts transforming labor markets worldwide. Now in its
third edition, the conference is established as a leading platform for advancing practical
solutions to employment, skills, and workforce challenges.
The program brings together 200+ speakers to address how trade realignments are
redistributing work, why informal economies persist despite reform efforts and whether
current skills systems are fit for a world defined by technological acceleration. Sessions
also challenge assumptions about AI and productivity, examine how labor markets
absorb or fail to absorb crisis, and question how employment systems can balance
growth with human progress. Through ministerial roundtables, sector deep dives, policy-
focused sessions, and bilateral meetings, GLMC 2026 provides a space for rigorous
debate, policy alignment, and collaboration, supporting tangible outcomes that
contribute to more inclusive, resilient, and future-ready labor markets.
