Paris Peace Forum 2026 will be held in Paris from 10 to 11 November. The venue has not yet been announced on the organiser's 2026 site. It is the ninth edition of the annual global governance gathering, which was created in 2018 and is organised by the Paris Peace Forum.
The forum brings together heads of state and government, the leaders of international organisations, chief executives and civil society around global governance, geopolitics, business and public policy. The organiser's own site gives the dates as 10 and 11 November 2026; some diplomatic listings show 11 and 12 November, and the organiser's dates take precedence.
For executives, the Paris Peace Forum is one of the few annual settings in which corporate leadership sits alongside heads of government and multilateral institutions. Chief executives, board members and public affairs directors attend to hear how governments and international bodies are framing questions of trade, technology and security, and to meet public sector counterparts in one place over two days.
The 2026 edition follows changes at the top of the organisation. Former ambassador Philippe Etienne was elected President in April 2026 and Franck Paris was appointed Director General in August 2026.
