ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS)
Reserve the week of 24 May 2027
A new setting. New opportunities. Expanding the global aviation network.
Every year, ICAO’s GISS brings together the people shaping the future of international aviation.
In 2027, we’re taking you somewhere entirely different.
Somewhere many aviation professionals have never experienced.
A destination to connect, explore and engage.
Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
GISS is More Than a Conference.
It is where implementation becomes action.
Where States, industry leaders and international organizations come together to align priorities, build partnerships and advance the actions needed to deliver a safer, more connected and sustainable aviation system.
Last year alone, GISS brought together:
- 1,450+ participants from 101 Member States
- 27 Ministers
- 39 agreements and cooperation commitments
Why Angola?

- Visa-free access for visitors from 98 countries, facilitating international travel.
