WORLD STRATEGIC FORUM

World Strategic Forum

The World Strategic Forum (WSF), established in 2011 by the IEFA, is an annual conference held in Miami that brings together international decision-makers to discuss global economic issues.

In 2026, the Forum will adopt a new two-day format: the first day will be accessible by application, featuring curated sessions and panels, while the second day will be invitation-only, dedicated to private discussions and strategic partnerships.

This edition will emphasize innovation and key sectors such as geopolitics, finance, energy, and emerging technologies.
