    Overview

    The Saturday when the Financial Times Weekend comes to life is heading to New York City on 20 June 2025. Join us for a day of lively debate, bold ideas and fresh perspectives as the FT Weekend Festival: NYC Edition makes its debut. Inspired by the spirit of the season, this year’s festival aims to reignite conversations around the most pressing issues of our time—while offering experiences that are as entertaining as they are enlightening.

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

    For our global audience, sessions will be streamed live and available on demand through our catch-up service.

    Register now to be part of our inaugural FT Weekend Festival in New York—whether you’re joining us in person or online, we can’t wait to welcome you.
