The Sixth Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour will be held from 11 to 13 February 2026 in Marrakech at the Palais des Congrès.

The main agenda of the Conference will alternate between high-level sessions and technical discussions addressing the most relevant issues related to the elimination of child labour, as identified during regional consultations.

It will be complemented by interactive sessions, accessible by registration only, aimed at fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing and the presentation of effective solutions.

A space dedicated to innovation will showcase creative approaches that have a measurable impact on the elimination of child labour. Finally, side events will be organised to promote dialogue, partnerships and advocacy.

The detailed programme of the Conference will be sent to all delegates and also posted on the website, along with all the necessary documentation: www.6thchildlabourconf.org

Delegates from countries without Moroccan diplomatic representation may request visa confirmation letters at the airport from the organising committee.

Delegates arriving at either of these two international airports will be met by the organising team and accompanied to shuttle buses that will take them to their hotels.
