Following the success of the previous World Quality Week conferences, the third World Quality Week Conference returns in 2026 as a focused one-day event exploring how quality can power performance in organisations, systems, and societies.
Led and shaped by the ADS Quality Board, the conference builds on the strong engagement and momentum from earlier editions and brings together quality professionals, leaders, and change-makers from around the world for a day of insight, collaboration, and practical learning. Sponsors will be announced in due course.
