RIYADH: ACCIONA Living & Culture will host the second edition of the NEXT IN Summit on April 23-24, 2025, bringing together global leaders in museology, architecture, immersive experiences, and art to discuss culture’s pivotal role in shaping the future.
Taking place at the ACCIONA Campus in Madrid, the summit will serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and exploring the latest innovations in cultural space design and management. Among the distinguished speakers are Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield, MoMA Director Glenn D. Lowry, artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and architect Elizabeth Diller, alongside thirty other international experts from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Denmark, and Canada.
NEXT IN 2025 will address pressing topics such as the role of cultural institutions in promoting sustainability, the impact of immersive experiences on the intersection of culture and entertainment, and the evolution of “hybrid museums” that blend physical and digital engagement.
Through roundtable discussions, panel talks, and networking opportunities, industry professionals will explore the future of museum innovation and cultural institutions’ influence on society.
Building on the success of its first edition, NEXT IN has established itself as a premier global forum for culture and innovation. The previous summit featured influential figures from leading institutions like the Prado, Orsay, and Louvre Abu Dhabi, with discussions on cultural architecture, social inclusion, and the integration of artificial intelligence in artistic creation.
