In times of growing uncertainty, the Berlin Conference offers a much-needed space for dialogue between the arts, civil society, and politics – bridging personal commitment with collective responsibility.

Organised by Stiftung Zukunft Berlin in cooperation with the civil society initiative A Soul for Europe, the European Festivals Association (EFA), and the Evangelische Akademie zu Berlin, the Berlin Conference brings together voices, perspectives, and networks from across Europe to help shape a common democratic future.

The Berlin Conference 2026 will take place on 5 and 6 November in the Allianz Forum, located next to the Brandenburg Gate – a symbolic setting for European dialogue.

Save the date in your agenda. More news about the programme will be published after the Summer.
