Are global conflicts fated to spin out of control, or can we come Back from the Brink? Militarily, financially and demographically, the crackup of the old order is a high-risk moment.
The Budapest Global Dialogue was founded in 2024 to press for answers to these questions in the heart of Europe—in one of the globe’s rising diplomatic powerhouses.
Under the theme of Back from the Brink, the upcoming BGD focuses on the urgency of reconfiguring the international order. Building on the success of previous editions of BGD—which have gathered more than a hundred international speakers and guests from eighty-four countries—the event aims to address the many aspects of this pivotal moment in history.
Our conference will focus on four thematic pillars:
- New Global Security Architecture
- Renewal of the Global Economy
- Technological Competition as a New Arms Race
- The Crisis of Values in the West
Join decision-makers, policy minds and diplomats from around the globe on February 9–10, 2026, in Budapest.
Further details will be provided in due course.
