2026 World Monuments Summit Addresses Global Challenges

The 2026 World Monuments Summit will convene leading voices in cultural heritage to discuss preservation in the face of global challenges.

The summit will explore what is considered irreplaceable and the responsibilities involved in its protection, particularly during times of conflict, climate change, urban transformation, AI advancements, and geopolitical uncertainty.

This annual forum, hosted by the World Monuments Fund (WMF) in New York each October, alongside the Hadrian Gala, focuses on the most critical issues in heritage preservation.

The summit views preservation not just as safeguarding the past, but as a crucial element for adaptation, renewal, and building a sustainable future.
