We are pleased to announce the Paley International Council Summit, taking place October 19 to 21, 2026, at The Paley Center for Media in New York City. This year's theme, Global Media in Focus: Power, Platforms, and Perspective, will bring together global dignitaries, chief executives, and industry thought leaders for substantive dialogue on the forces reshaping Global Media. We are equally proud to announce a significant addition to this year's program: the inaugural Dr. John C. Malone Annual Keynote Address at The Paley International Council Summit. For more than five decades, Dr. Malone has been one of the most consequential figures in media, communications, and technology. A transformative leader whose strategic vision helped define the modern media landscape, he has set the tone at the Paley International Council Summit for the past six years. This new annual keynote, endowed by Charter Communications, Liberty Global, Liberty Latin America, Liberty Media, Live Nation Entertainment, SiriusXM, and Warner Bros. Discovery, ensures his voice and values remain a cornerstone of the Summit for years to come. The Summit is made possible by the generous support of Hearst and the William S. Paley Foundation. Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. We encourage those interested in attending to register early!
