From 16–18 June 2026, Szczecin, Poland, hosted this year’s GDS-Forum and Impact Day, convened by the Global Destination Sustainability Movement (GDS-Movement) in collaboration with #MEET4IMPACT, the City of Szczecin, the Szczecin Convention Bureau, the Polish Tourism Organisation, and the Poland Convention Bureau.
Through collaborative workshops, deep dialogue, peer-to-peer learning, and place-based exchange, participants explored practical responses to the urgent challenges shaping destinations today, from climate disruption and social change to impact measurement, community engagement, and legacy creation.
The conversations and connections formed in Szczecin will continue beyond the event, supporting shared learning, cross-sector collaboration, and action towards more regenerative destinations and impactful business events.
