Deadline for reserving your one-to-one meetings is 17 September
WorldSkills Conference’s most innovative initiative, the Skills CoLab, is now open for bookings. Over three sessions scheduled across 23 and 24 September 2026, the event is designed to facilitate meaningful exchange between pioneering skills development projects and Conference participants. A total of 26 projects from 20 countries will be present in this pilot edition.
Over six rounds of 30-minute meetings, a maximum of six Conference Delegates will be able to sit with the representatives of their preferred project. Capacity is limited, and bookings will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Two rounds will be open walk-up, with no booking needed. However, since popular projects fill up quickly, we recommend reserving your meeting in advance.
