Welcome to Paris for the Global Volunteering Forum (IVCO) 2026. We are delighted to welcome you to this city of exceptional heritage, where history and culture meet at every corner.
Beyond the moments of exchange and reflection at the Agence Française de Développement, we hope your stay will also be an opportunity to discover the Parisian landscape, from its iconic museums to its vibrant neighbourhoods, as well as its artistic expressions and gastronomy. Paris offers a unique setting to spark ideas, foster connections, and inspire!
We look forward to seeing you in Paris and to making the 2026 conference a meaningful experience, rich in learning, collaboration and significant progress.
This year’s conference will be held at the Mistral Building, Agence française de développement (AFD), 3 Place Louis Armand, 75012 Paris
There are a diverse range of hotels in the vicinity, allowing you to stay in different areas of Paris. Visit our accommodation page for some recommendations or take a look at what’s available on Booking.com or Tripadvisor?
The conference will take place in October, during autumn, a time when temperatures in Paris tend to gradually drop, with some humidity due to rain and fog. It is advisable to bring mid-season clothing, a fairly warm jacket for going out, and closed-toe shoes.
We recommend checking the Météo France website to plan your activities and select appropriate clothing.
