October 11–13, 2026
Prague

The upcoming Forum 2000 Conference (October 11–13, Prague) marks a major milestone. It is not only the conference's 30th edition, but it also takes place as we commemorate what would have been Václav Havel’s 90th birthday. At a time when democracy is under pressure from both external authoritarianism and internal weakening, Forum 2000 seeks to identify practical ways to build a renewed global democratic architecture.

The discussions will revolve around the following thematic areas:

• Power, Democracy, and the Future of the Rules-Based Order
• Restoring Democratic Meaning: Participation and Representation
• Forum for Ukraine
• Democracy and Technology: Values at Risk in the Digital Age
• Thematic and Regional Focus

Forum 2000 Conferences

A PLATFORM FOR DEMOCRACY 

The idea for the Forum 2000 Conference originated in 1997, when President Havel and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel invited world leaders to Prague to discuss the challenges humanity was facing on the threshold of the new millennium. Since then, Forum 2000 has evolved into a successful and widely recognized conference series, where distinguished guests address a diverse international community on topics ranging from the situation of human rights to the state of democracy and challenges to the international rules-based order.
