In its fifth consecutive year,  Global Citizen NOW: NYC will convene leaders in government, policy, advocacy, business, entertainment, and philanthropy to deliver the fundamentals on education, food security, energy, and global health. Global Citizen NOW is the only place where the brightest minds from the private sector, public sector, and artist community come together to share tangible ideas for taking action today, so that we can save tomorrow. 

Global Citizen NOW: NYC 2026’s mainstage programming will dive into driving action to expand access to education through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, improving food security and economic opportunity, expanding access to electricity and cut emissions, and addressing global health and nutrition for the world’s underserved communities. The program is set to include major announcements on Global Citizen’s upcoming campaigns, intimate conversations with industry titans, the Global Citizen Prize, and more.

As part of Global Citizen NOW: NYC, we will again award the Global Citizen Prize to those making extraordinary efforts to change the world. We will celebrate unsung heroes from across the globe who have been combating climate change, addressing systemic barriers, empowering girls and women, and championing change in all its forms.

Global Citizen NOW: NYC is taking place on May 14, 2026  in New York City at Spring Studios.
