Join us for this signature event to learn about World Monuments Fund (WMF) work safeguarding the world’s irreplaceable heritage and engage with a global community of heritage experts and advocates.
The World Monuments Summit is WMF’s annual flagship forum, bringing together leading voices in cultural heritage to address the most pressing challenges in preservation. Held each October in New York alongside the Hadrian Gala, the Summit considers preservation not only as safeguarding the past, but as a foundation for adaptation, renewal, and the future.
At a time of conflict, climate change, rapid urban transformation, AI, and geopolitical uncertainty, the 2026 Summit will ask: What is truly irreplaceable—and what do we owe one another to protect it?
