Conference Postponed due to the geopolitical and security situation in the middle east

09 March 2026 - Given the continued instability in the geopolitical and security situation in the Middle East, we have decided to postpone the conference to a later date.

Please stay tuned on this page, as well as via email communication, for additional information as we work to reschedule the conference, as well as details about refunds for those who are already registered.

02 March 2026 - In collaboration with the AGIFORS Council and our hosts at Qatar Airways, we are closely monitoring the security situation in Doha and the Middle East.

The safety and security of AGIFORS attendees is paramount. While we still hope to hold the conference as scheduled, we will only do so if we are absolutely comfortable that we can offer a safe conference experience.

In the event of any postponement or cancellation of this year's conference, any registration and sponsorship fees will be fully refunded.

Please continue to monitor this page and AGIFORS email communication for more information in the coming days and weeks.
