OUR VISION
We are living a decisive moment. The convergence of artificial intelligence, knowledge, innovation, and talent is transforming how we understand development, competitiveness, and collective well-being. More than a technological revolution, this is an inflection point that invites us to rethink how we want to build the future.
The real challenge is not only to develop new capabilities, but to guide that progress with judgment, ethics, and a clear sense of purpose. Today, more than ever, we need to open meaningful conversations about sustainability, governance, inclusion, and the role of knowledge in creating more resilient and equitable societies.
In 2026, ICKM, CIKI, and GFIC will convene in Chile, bringing together researchers, professionals, business leaders, public policy decision-makers, and graduate students in a space for interdisciplinary dialogue on the key issues shaping the next frontier of global development.
ABOUT
The CIKI–ICKM–GFIC Triple Conference 2026 is a premier international event that brings together leading academics, researchers, professionals, and organizational leaders at the forefront of knowledge management, intellectual capital, innovation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability.
Designed to foster high-level dialogue and meaningful exchange, the conference offers a dynamic format that combines scientific rigor with active participation, enabling direct interaction between research and practice. It is a space where ideas are not only presented, but challenged, connected, and transformed into actionable insights.
This unique gathering is the result of a strategic collaboration between three globally recognized academic communities: CIKI, ICKM, and GFIC. The 2026 edition will be hosted by the Universidad de Santiago de Chile.
CIKI–ICKM–GFIC 2026 offers a unique opportunity to understand the defining issues of the 21st century through the voices of those leading them—researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs—across diverse sectors and disciplines.
