World Commerce & Contracting APAC Summit 2026

World Commerce & Contracting invites you to our flagship APAC Summit focused on giving commercial and contracting professionals the confidence and tools to spark change that lasts. Through hands-on workshops, collaborative sessions, real-life case studies, and guided networking, you’ll get practical frameworks and actionable ideas for building real results, by working together.

Explore proven best practices, connect with leaders across industries, and see how collaboration turns ambition into action. This year’s summit puts a spotlight on WorldCC’s latest research, which is setting the standard for contract management worldwide, and a deep dive into the Contract Management Standards that everyone’s talking about. Discover how these resources can guide smarter decisions, support better commercial relationships, and create outcomes that endure.
