Previous edition

With the celebration of its sixth edition in 2024, the IFEMA Madrid Cities Forum celebrates its tenth anniversary. During this decade, the Forum has accompanied and encouraged urban debate and the necessary transformations to move towards more sustainable, innovative, green and inclusive spaces.

Before this sixth edition 2024, five Forums have been held at IFEMA MADRID (2014, 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2022) and two in the city of Medellín, Colombia (2019 and 2020). For all of them, a summary book has been published after their celebration with all the activities of both the Forum and the fairs held simultaneously: TECMA and SRR.

In all editions, the Forum has had the direct collaboration of the Madrid City Council and the Municipality of Medellin in the case of the events held in Colombia, as well as the support of entities such as UN-Habitat, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities or the European Union, as well as the sponsorship of important companies linked to urban development and municipal services.

Overall, the 8 editions of the Forum have had the collaboration of more than 150 different organisations and entities.

The 196 speakers and 1,200 attendees of the sixth edition 2024, add to the important figures achieved in previous editions.
