IMCA Global Summit 2026 – taking place on 28–29 October 2026 in Antwerp, Belgium – is the marine contracting industry’s flagship event, bringing together hundreds of business leaders, decision-makers, and technical experts from across the globe to shape the future of offshore construction.
Under the theme “Raising Standards. Empowering People. Sustaining the Future,” this two-day summit will not only address today’s technical challenges but also set a clear direction towards 2030. It will explore how IMCA members can collaborate to advance technical excellence and global standardisation, strengthen a safe, skilled, and diverse workforce, and drive sustainability and operational efficiency in line with IMCA’s new 2030 strategy.
Through practical discussion and collaboration, the event will tackle the key challenges and opportunities shaping offshore operations, delivering actionable technical insights that attendees can apply immediately.
Delegates will gain a strategic perspective on the future of offshore construction, including emerging best practices, workforce development, and the evolving role of the industry in a changing global energy landscape. The summit also provides a platform to influence new industry initiatives and contribute to the future direction of IMCA’s work.
The event features extensive networking opportunities across both days, including the Global Summit Gala Dinner and Awards on 28 October, offering a chance to connect with peers, clients, and suppliers from around the world.
