Welcome to Labour2030

The Future of Work starts here

Labour2030 is coming back to Porto.

On 16 and 17 September 2027, the 4th edition of Labour2030 will once again bring together experts, professionals and leaders from across the world for two days of international debate on the future of work.

The event will take place at Super Bock Arena, one of Porto’s most iconic venues, bringing together an international community to exchange ideas, share knowledge and explore the challenges shaping the future of work.

Join us. The debate starts here. We look forward to welcoming you to Porto.
