The Saturday when the Financial Times Weekend came to life headed to New York City at Spring Studios on Saturday 20 June 2026. Guests joined us for a day of lively debate, bold ideas and fresh perspectives as the FT Weekend Festival: NYC Edition made its debut. Inspired by the spirit of the season, the festival aimed to reignite conversations around the most pressing issues of our time while offering experiences that were as entertaining as they were enlightening.

Bringing the global “big picture” to life through thoughtful discussion, culture and connection, the festival featured panels, interviews, tastings, performances, and opportunities to meet and speak with our writers and columnists.

Watch the sessions on demand and catch up on the conversations, insights and debates that shaped the festival.
