Co-host a WHS Dialogue and bring together senior decision-makers and experts for a focused and strategic exchange beyond the WHS 2026 main program. WHS Dialogues provide an exclusive setting to shape high-level discussions, connect across sectors, and build meaningful partnerships.
WHS Dialogues are small, invitation-only breakfast, lunch, or dinner conversations that take place during the Summit in dedicated rooms at the conference venue. They bring together a hand-picked group of senior decision-makers and experts for focused, off-the-record exchange under the Chatham House Rule.
Each Dialogue brings together 20-30 carefully selected participants and is co-designed by the co-hosting organization, and the WHS team. The WHS team supports from concept to implementation. The Dialogues focus on one strategic topic that aligns with both your priorities and the broader Summit agenda. Only a limited number of Dialogues are hosted each year, ensuring exclusivity and senior-level participation.
The format creates a trusted environment for candid exchange, strategic alignment, and solution-oriented discussion among decision-makers from across sectors who rarely meet in such an intimate setting.
