Under the theme “#Ubuntu: United for a Safer Future,” this conference is not just an academic gathering — it is a rallying point for global, national and local action in the face of unprecedented challenges caused by the sudden reduction in international aid.

This conference is an urgent call to move beyond business-as-usual. It is a call for solidarity and bold collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, civil society, and communities. A call to harness our collective knowledge to scale solutions that reduce violence, save lives, and build responsive systems of care.

Safety 2026 will spotlight emerging evidence, innovative technologies, and lived experience across five conference tracks — from epidemiology to economic impact. But it will also shine a light on the deep, often uncomfortable realities of violence and injury: the impact of alcohol, gendered violence, the cost of inaction, and the social fractures that perpetuate harm. Safety 2026 will bridge scientific evidence with proven solutions to generate dialogue between researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
