Jean-Francois Decaux to headline the World Out of Home Organization 2026
Annual Congress in London on June 4th
Jean-François Decaux, Co-CEO and Chairman of JCDecaux, and eldest son of founder Jean-Claude Decaux, will be the keynote speaker at the World Out of Home Organization’s 2026 Annual Congress in London from June 3-5. The Congress will be held at the London Hilton on Park Lane and is expected to attract a record number of delegates.
JCDecaux is the world’s biggest Out of Home media owner, with an annual turnover of almost €4BN and major operations in Europe, Asia, the United States, and across the world.
WOO President Tom Goddard says: “Jean–François isn’t just a major figure in Out of Home but one of the architects of the modern media world, playing a key role in growing the medium to where it is today and helping to transform cities and other localities for the better through his company’s investment in street furniture and a range of other civic amenities.
“This event promises to be WOO’s biggest and best Annual Congress, which for the first time since 1990 is being held in the UK. “There is no one more knowledgeable and passionate about our industry than Jean- Francois, and I always come away from my meetings with him enthused and energized. We therefore eagerly await hearing his views on the future of OOH.”
