Liberal Hall – Arab Liberty Forum 2026

The Liberal Hall program will bring together civil society leaders, thinkers, researchers, and changemakers from across the Arab world for an afternoon dedicated to ideas, innovation, and the future of freedom in the region. The event will open with a reflective session highlighting decades of initiatives, achievements, and efforts that have shaped debates on liberty and civic engagement across the Arab world.

A central part of the program will be the Civil Society Booth Exhibition, where participants will have the opportunity to discover the work of think tanks and organizations from across the region. Through direct exchanges with project leaders and organizations, attendees will explore innovative initiatives, build new connections, and discuss emerging ideas capable of strengthening civic participation and public debate.

The event will conclude with a live Project Pitch Competition featuring ten selected initiatives presenting their ideas before the audience. These projects will showcase creative approaches to advancing freedom and civic engagement in the Arab world, while offering participants the opportunity to compete for recognition during the Freedom Gala Dinner later that evening.
