Global Child Forum

Setting the scene for action

Our forums are the only large-scale multi-stakeholder platforms that focus on how business can address children’s rights while building brand value.

The first Global Child Forum was held at the Stockholm Royal Palace in 2010 and since then we have hosted many of these prestigious events.

We gather global leaders as well as experts, NGOs, government and academia, to catalyse the discussion on how new business models can be developed to tackle the growing challenges facing children today.

Global Child Forum 2026

On 13th October our Global Child Forum event returned to Stockholm Royal Palace.

This year’s theme was The Shifting Stakeholder - Why children, why now?

Bringing together CEOs, chairs and investors, we explored how business can better recognise youth perspectives in the key decisions shaping markets, societies and future generations.

At the Forum we had excellent conversations with practitioners and peer companies, highlighting the importance of championing children’s rights through our businesses and practices.
