ICANN officially announced that its 87th annual plenary meeting will be held in Bali, Indonesia, from October 17th to 22nd, 2026. The original venue, Muscat, Oman, has been officially changed.
This venue change was a decision made after careful consideration by ICANN. The organization stated that the core purpose of the change was to ensure the meeting could be held as scheduled, minimize travel disruptions, maintain the convenience of participation for global industry attendees, and uphold its commitment to an open conference to the global community.
As a benchmark conference in the global internet domain name governance field, the ICANN annual meeting brings together domain name registrars, registries, regulatory agencies from various countries, internet technology practitioners, and domain name investors to discuss and consult on key issues such as domain name policy revisions, root server maintenance, general top-level domain management, and cross-border domain name disputes. It is an important annual exchange platform for the internet domain name industry.
The initial plan to host the conference in Muscat was scrapped, and Bali, with its mature convention and exhibition facilities and advantageous location and transportation, became the new host city. Its superior tourism and conference infrastructure can accommodate participants from multiple countries for on-site exchanges, facilitating the smooth progress of global internet governance-related topics.
The industry is widely focused on the new regulations and developments for this year’s conference, with many practitioners already planning their trips and awaiting the conference’s announcement of new policies for the domain name industry, resource allocation, and other significant information. This relocation also brings a fresh perspective to ICANN87 this year.
