ZEG 2026
JUNE 19 -21
TBILISI, GEORGIA
Welcome to the ZEG Storytelling Festival!
ZEG is the Georgian word for ‘the day after tomorrow,’ and that’s what the festival is all about: finding and telling the stories that matter for the day after tomorrow.
From 141 speakers across 44 countries to unforgettable performances, provocative panels, off-the-record moments, and a live journalism show - ZEG 2025 was our biggest year yet.
Over 1,000 participants joined us for 110 sessions of passionate conversations, workshops, improv, open mics, and city tours, supported by 64 student volunteers, 30 fellows, and 70 journalists. From AI to autocracy, resilience to resistance - stories from Georgia, Europe, the U.S., Uganda, Colombia, Bangladesh, and beyond revealed how deeply we are all connected.
Now, as we go international with ZEG Amsterdam (29 August, 2025) and ZEG London (18 October, 2025), this is your chance to relive the magic and get ready for what's next.
ZEG returns to Tbilisi, June 19-21, 2026.
