FAQ

Yes. EBAA has taken the decision to cancel EBACE26, which was scheduled to take place in Geneva from 2 to 4 June 2026.

This decision was taken after careful consideration of the commercial and market realities affecting the event. Despite meaningful changes to the EBACE concept for 2026, the event did not generate the momentum, support and confidence needed to proceed on a viable basis.

We believed it was more responsible to take a clear decision now than to deliver an edition that would fall short of the standards, relevance and market confidence expected from EBACE. Protecting the long-term credibility of the event required making that choice now.

A number of broader factors affected participation and confidence, including changing market dynamics, a competitive event environment and wider geopolitical uncertainty. However, the central issue is that the 2026 edition did not secure sufficient market support to justify proceeding.
