About VMC2026

The 11th edition of the Vienna Migration Conference (VMC) will take place on 16–17 November 2026 in Vienna, Austria. As ICMPD’s annual flagship event and Europe’s leading forum on migration, the conference convenes policymakers, practitioners, researchers and representatives of international organisations, civil society and the private sector to exchange perspectives on migration governance, evolving policy challenges and potential responses.

VMC provides a trusted space for dialogue, bringing together diverse perspectives from across regions and sectors. Through structured discussions and informal exchanges, it fosters open debate on migration policy, diplomacy and cooperation.

Further details on the programme and speakers will be shared in the coming months. Updates will be posted via the ICMPD Policy & Research LinkedIn page and ICMPD’s main channels on LinkedIn, BlueSky, Facebook and X. Join the conversation online using the hashtag #ViennaMigrationConference.
