It's time to reserve your spot at Culture Converge 2026, the European Network of Cultural Centres' annual conference scheduled for May 20th-22nd in Lisbon.

About the event

Join ENCC for a conversation at the intersection of culture, democracy, and the digital, hosted by Carpintarias de São Lázaro, an independent multidisciplinary arts space nestled in the heart of the city.
In the 3-day event you will have the chance discover, discuss, and negotiate approaches and strategies to empower citizens through socio-culture and nurture trust within communities facing fragmentation.


Like every year, the event will offer a blend of panel discussions with high-level speakers, workshops, and informal moments of networking. Participants will also get a chance to discover and actively engage with Lisbon's socio-cultural ecosystem thanks to a number of study visits and a rich evening programme. And it will all end with a Portuguese-style block party.

Discover more here and get your ticket by May 4th.
