In an era defined by rapid technological change, shifting societal expectations, and complex global challenges, infrastructure leaders face unprecedented pressure to deliver smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable systems. Leading for Future-Ready Infrastructure Delivery is a CEO-level forum designed to equip senior executives with the vision, insights, and strategies necessary to shape infrastructure that stands the test of time.

This exclusive summit brings together industry pioneers, policy shapers, and forward-thinking business leaders to explore how organisations can adapt, innovate, and thrive amid accelerating change.

Discussions will span the full spectrum of future-driven infrastructure leadership: digital transformation and AI-enabled delivery, climate-resilient planning, financing models for next-generation assets, workforce evolution, and cross-sector collaboration. Participants will hear how leading organisations are modernising delivery practices using predictive analytics, automation, digital twins, and integrated data ecosystems. They will also delve into governance models that strengthen trust, reduce risk, and shorten delivery timelines.

Beyond thought-provoking keynotes and case studies, this event offers  C-Suite leaders unparalleled opportunities for strategic networking and peer exchange. Attendees will gain practical frameworks for decision-making in uncertain environments, insights on unlocking investment for future-proof projects, and tools to align their organizations around sustainable, long-term value creation.

For leaders who want to position their organisations at the forefront of infrastructure transformation, the value proposition is clear:

Leave with a sharper strategic outlook, actionable solutions, and new partnerships that will accelerate the journey toward building infrastructure that is smarter, greener, and ready for the future.

The event will take place at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens, Greece from 15 - 17 April 2026. 

The exclusive Global Leadership Forum brings together some 100 leaders from across the globe to play a key role in helping to address global challenges and creating a united, influential, international voice for the infrastructure industry.
