EY GCC Conclave 2026 – Gurugram 

The EY GCC Conclave is our flagship platform that brings together leaders from Global Capability Centers across India to deliberate on emerging trends, policy imperatives, and the evolving role of GCCs in driving innovation and economic growth. The Conclave is held across six cities - Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, and NCR - and over the past year has featured more than 70 distinguished speakers, representatives from over 400 GCCs, and in excess of 1,000 participants. The forum has enabled meaningful dialogue on topics such as emerging technologies, the future of work, new GCC destination development, innovation ecosystems, and the role of government in enabling GCC growth.
