The St. Petersburg International United Cultures Forum has been held since 2012. Since that time, it has established itself as a unique discussion platform for cooperation in the field of culture and the arts, as well as for an open and substantive discussion of issues that arise as the contemporary cultural environment evolves.
The event brings together representatives of different countries, nationalities and professions, including official delegations from more than 50 countries, prominent cultural figures, representatives of governments, international organizations, and business, as well as experts and leading media outlets.
As always, Forum participants will exchange ideas and discuss key trends and pressing issues that shape the modern cultural landscape.
The Forum’s business programme will feature ten thematic blocks. Each block will offer a dedicated space for professional dialogue and the development of practical initiatives designed to advance international humanitarian cooperation.
The Forum will also play host to the St. Petersburg Seasons Festival of Culture, showcasing a curated line-up of events from the city’s premier cultural institutions.
Attendance at the Forum is free of charge, but pre-registration is required. The Organizing Committee reviews and approves each application on a case-by-case basis. Please allow at least ten days for your application to be reviewed.
