Global DIY-Summit 2026

Accelerating in a New Global Reality : Building Collective Awareness for a Fast-Changing World

The 12th Global DIY-Summit unites senior leaders from the worldwide home improvement, DIY, and garden industry to explore the major transformations shaping our sector. Across two days of keynotes and strategic dialogues — complemented by a 3-day exhibition, store tour, and networking events — the Summit provides both high-level insight and practical direction for a rapidly changing world. The 2026 programme is built around two core pillars:

1. Collective Awareness
Understanding the global forces redefining markets, consumers, and the industry.
Themes include macro and geopolitical shifts, emerging growth drivers such as AI and retail media, evolving consumer and Pro customer behaviours, and long-term retail perspectives across key regions.

2. Collective Action
Translating insight into strategies shaping the future of our sector.
Focus areas include sustainable innovation, climate adaptation, circularity, digital infrastructure, category management, cybersecurity, and the leadership and talent needed for organisational transformation.
