Pakistan Leadership Conversation 2026:
Lahore: 14 January, 2026: The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) will host the eighth edition of the Pakistan Leadership Conversation 2026 (PLC) next week, bringing together senior policymakers, regulators, business leaders and global experts to advance a shared agenda for sustainable growth in a rapidly changing world.
Under the theme “Accelerating impact in a changed world”, PLC 2026 will take place across Lahore (19 January), Karachi (21 January) and Islamabad (22 January), featuring high-level keynotes, policy dialogues and panel discussions focused on sustainability, technology, governance and future skills.
The flagship platform comes at a critical moment for Pakistan, as organisations navigate economic volatility, climate risk and fast-paced technological disruption. PLC 2026 aims to move beyond discussion, focusing on practical actions that unlock value across business, government and society.
High-level participation across government and industry
The inaugural sessions in all three cities will centre on driving meaningful impact in a changing world by exploring climate governance, responsible investment, AI, data, cloud, and digital transformation, alongside the evolving role of finance and accountancy in value creation.
Senior government leaders are expected to join PLC 2026, reflecting the importance of cross-sector collaboration in delivering long-term national outcomes. Sessions will also see participation of senior leaders from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, Pakistan Stock Exchange, International Finance Corporation, Dawlance, ABHI Microfinance Bank, DATArecall, The Coca Cola Company, S&P Global, PTCL, JAZZ, Packages Group, Easypaisa Digital Bank and Nutshell, among others.
The conversations will address how organisations can embed credible sustainability practices, improve climate and ESG data, leverage AI and emerging technologies responsibly, and build future-ready talent pipelines aligned with global standards.
A platform aligned with national and global priorities
Pakistan Leadership Conversation 2026 (PLC 2026 ) reinforces ACCA’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s economic development and aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly quality education, decent work and economic growth, climate action, reduced inequalities and strong institutions.
As a global professional accountancy body with over 257,000 members and 530,000 future members across 180 countries, ACCA brings an international perspective to national priorities, connecting Pakistan’s business community with global best practice and policy thinking.
Commenting ahead of the event, Assad Hameed Khan, Head of ACCA Pakistan, said: “Pakistan Leadership Conversation has, over the years, become a trusted platform for frank, solutions-oriented dialogue. In 2026, the focus is firmly on accelerating impact, translating ambition into action and equipping leaders with the insight and capability needed to navigate complexity and deliver sustainable value.”
Pakistan Leadership Conversation 2026 is expected to engage hundreds of senior decision-makers, reinforcing ACCA’s role as a convenor of meaningful conversations that shape Pakistan’s business and policy landscape.
