Szczecin will be the first city in Poland to host the GDS‑Forum & Impact Day — a unique event that gathers leaders in regenerative tourism and sustainability experts from around the world.

For three days (June 16–18, 2026), the city will transform into a “living lab of innovation and collaboration.” The Forum will provide a platform to co-create solutions for more responsible tourism and events, while the Impact Day, co-organized with #MEET4IMPACT, will focus on designing and measuring the positive social impact of the MICE sector.

This is a tremendous honor for Szczecin and strengthens its image as a modern, open, and regenerative tourism destination.

We also hope this event will be a great opportunity for international guests to explore the many attractions of Szczecin — from green spaces and riverside charm to rich history and vibrant culture. We can’t wait!
