The World Bank Group Land Conference has catalyzed the global land community for over 20 years. 

The Land Conference is the premier global forum for the land sector, bringing together participants from governments, development partners, civil society, academia, and the private sector to showcase policy-relevant research, discuss technical issues and sector good practice, and inform our dialogue. The Land Conference also aims to encourage cross-sectoral knowledge exchange and has incubated numerous investments, initiatives, and research projects led by diverse stakeholders, including the Voluntary Guidelines, the Land Governance Assessment Framework, and the Stand for Her Land Campaign.

The theme for the 2027 Land Conference will be "Land Markets for Jobs and Growth." Stay tuned for updates on registration and the call for proposals, expected in October 2026.
