It is the premier international platform for high-level discussions on migration in Europe and beyond, where debates put the spotlight firmly on the state of play in migration diplomacy and where real progress between key partners can be made.u003c/pu003enu003ch6u003eu003cspan style=u0022color: #ffcc00;u0022u003eOur missionu003c/spanu003eu003c/h6u003enu003cpu003eToday’s world is interconnected and constantly evolving, and so is international migration. Realities and perspectives are as dynamic as the flows and effects of migration. They differ not just among but also within countries and stakeholder groups. Making progress and find common ground in this ever-changing and divisive policy area requires a platform for a continuous, structured debate and open discourse. The Vienna Migration Conference (VMC) provides just that: a trusted space for frank exchanges, where decision-makers and practitioners discuss the latest developments and trends, and outline their visions for the road ahead – on stage, in side talks and through networking.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThe VMC provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of perspectives. In so doing, it sheds light on key migration-related opportunities and challenges – along routes to and within Europe, as well as for countries of origin and transit and other European partners.u003c/pu003enu003ch6u003eu003cspan style=u0022color: #ffcc00;u0022u003eOur outreachu003c/spanu003eu003c/h6u003enu003cpu003eFor this prime occasion in ICMPD’s annual calendar, we make use of our global network to bring together decision-makers, thought leaders and frontrunners in the migration sphere to convene, connect and engage. We stream most of our debates online, which brings the VMC to the doorsteps of the wider migration community and ensures the broadest possible outreach. The conference is covered by international and local media and we share the highlights and analysis of the debates through social media, interviews and a conference report.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003e u003c/pu003e
