Berlin Freedom Conference 2026
For the past two decades, freedom and democracy have been in decline worldwide. Autocracies are learning from each other, coordinating, and exploiting the vulnerabilities of open societies. Democracies, by contrast, are too often responding in fragmented and reactive ways. The Berlin Freedom Conference seeks to reverse that global trend and reclaim the future for free societies.
The Berlin Freedom Conference is a global forum dedicated to defending democracy, human rights, and open societies. Founded in Berlin - a city that symbolizes the triumph of freedom over oppression - the conference brings together leaders from politics, business, civil society, media, academia, and technology to address the mounting challenges to liberty in the 21st century. Its mission: to strengthen democratic resilience, debate solutions and forge new alliances for freedom worldwide.
Uniforms of Conscience
Behind every prison uniform is a story of courage, resistance, and freedom.
The World Liberty Congress invites you to Uniforms of Conscience, an exhibition honoring political prisoners worldwide through their uniforms, personal stories, and testimonies.
Their voices cannot be silenced. Their stories must be told.
Join the exhibition at cinema 4 during the Berlin Freedom Conference and stand with the political prisoners who refuse to surrender their freedom.
