FIDE is bringing together practitioners, public officials, political parties, NGOs, and funders in Vienna on 18 and 19 November for FIDE Forum 2026, a conference dedicated to moving deliberative democracy from the margins to the mainstream.

More than 1,000 deliberative processes and 80,000 citizens have already shaped real decisions on constitutional reform, national legislation, and public spending. The evidence exists. FIDE Forum 2026 is about building the infrastructure, lifting the standards, and creating the political will to make deliberation permanent, not an experiment.

Registration is open until October 30. Calls for workshops and training sessions close August 28.
