The 2026 Aito Overseas Conference will now take place in Montreux, Switzerland, from November 26-28

The event will now take place in the lakeside town of Montreux this November, with the original host – Oman's capital Muscat – now poised to host the 2027 conference instead. The organisation said the move was “to ensure the landmark 50th anniversary conference is accessible to the broadest possible membership”.

Martyn Sumners, Aito's Executive Director, said: “Our members now have two overseas conference destinations to look forward to. Montreux will feature a strong business programme intertwined with excellent networking and opportunities to enjoy the amazing lakeside destination.
