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.
The world is on fire. Wars are being fought on battlefields and in headlines. Democracies are being stress-tested. Truth is under siege. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, the stories that could actually help us understand what's happening are struggling to be heard.
This is exactly why ZEG exists.
ZEG Storytelling Festival returns for its sixth edition this summer uniting storytellers, thinkers, and makers from across disciplines and continents for conversations that challenge assumptions, reshape perspectives, and forge connections that outlast the weekend.
Curated by award-winning journalists and built for people who believe stories can change the world, ZEG makes room for complex subjects and unexpected moments alike: the insight you didn't see coming, the perspective that rewires your understanding, the person you meet on day one and are still talking to years later.
The sixth edition takes place June 19–21, featuring intimate conversations, thought-provoking panels, film screenings, performances, workshops, walking tours, and more.
We're building something different together, one conversation at a time.
