Culture Summit is a global annual gathering in Abu Dhabi that brings together an exceptional collective of creative thinkers, decision-makers, artists, designers, changemakers, and leaders from the culture and creative industries. Its ambition is to identify ways in which culture can transform societies and communities worldwide and turn these ideas into actions and solutions. 

This year’s Summit, held under the theme "Culture for Humanity and Beyond” will bring together global thought leaders, policymakers, renowned artists, and creative innovators to explore the intersection of culture, technology, and global governance. The three-day Summit will foster critical dialogue that focuses on the collective rethinking of human emancipation and humanism through keynote presentations, creative conversations, panel discussions, artist talks as well as a series of bespoke workshops.

Launched in 2017 by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, Culture Summit is organised in collaboration with international partners, including UNESCO, The Economist Impact, the Design Museum, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, Google, and Recording Academy®, among other leading arts, technology, and media organisations.

Culture Summit will take place on 27-29 April, at Manarat Al Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi.
