Berlin Conference 2026
The Berlin Conference highlights how essential culture is for Europe’s freedom, cohesion, and democratic strength.
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.
