Christie’s Art + Tech Summit 2026

On 16th July 2026, Christie’s will host its celebrated Art + Tech Summit at its iconic Rockefeller Plaza headquarters in New York. Taking place during the auction house's landmark 260th anniversary year, the summit will bring together an extraordinary community of artists, cultural figures, technologists, entrepreneurs and global thought leaders for a day dedicated to exploring the future of art.

As technology continues to transform every aspect of the creative landscape, this year’s Christie’s Art + Tech Summit offers a unique platform for meaningful conversations around innovation, collaboration and the evolving global art ecosystem.

The 2026 programme examines how emerging technologies are reshaping creativity, intelligence, value and cultural exchange. Rather than focusing solely on technological advancement, the summit will explore innovation itself as a mindset; one that embraces experimentation, challenges traditional thinking and creates new opportunities across the art world.

Through thought-provoking panel discussions, keynote presentations and expert conversations, attendees will gain valuable insights into the intersection of art, technology and business, while discovering how these forces are redefining the future of collecting, creating and investing.

This year’s summit will welcome an outstanding roster of internationally recognised voices from the worlds of art, media, finance, technology and more.

Featured guests include the likes of Emmy-nominated financial journalist Julia Chatterley, acclaimed contemporary artist Jitish Kallat, Eventbrite co-founder Kevin Hartz, former Artnet News Editor-in-Chief Andrew Goldstein and CNBC Wealth Editor Robert Frank.

Their diverse expertise will provide fresh perspectives on the evolving relationship between creativity, innovation and global markets, making the summit an essential event for collectors, investors, entrepreneurs and cultural leaders alike.

For almost 260 years, Christie’s has remained at the forefront of the international art market, connecting extraordinary works of art with collectors around the world. The Art + Tech Summit reflects this enduring commitment to innovation, bringing together influential voices to examine the ideas and technologies shaping the next chapter of the creative economy.

As art, technology and culture become increasingly interconnected, Christie’s continues to lead conversations that inspire collaboration, encourage new thinking and redefine what is possible.
