Allianz returns as main sponsor for 2026 Festival de las Ideas
Allianz has announced its return as the main sponsor for the 2026 edition of the Festival de las Ideas, which will take place in Madrid from September 17 to 20. Organized by the Círculo de Bellas Artes and La Fábrica, the event serves as a major European gathering for contemporary thought and civic debate.
The upcoming edition will focus on the theme of ‘Bodies,’ exploring topics such as identity, mental health, technology, and human relationships. The festival will feature the ‘Escenario Allianz’ at Plaza de España, an open forum hosting discussions with international figures including Zadie Smith, Paul B. Preciado, and Édouard Louis.
In addition to sponsorship, Allianz will host specific programming, including workshops on the connection between mind and body, emotional well-being, and activities designed to introduce critical thinking to children and families.
