Paley Center Unveils Speaker Lineup for 2026 International Council Summit
Global leaders in media, technology, and sports will gather at New York's Paley Museum from October 19–21 for the 2026 Paley International Council Summit. The event, often described as the media industry's version of Davos, aims to dissect the shifting landscape of artificial intelligence, gaming, and professional sports.
New additions to the speaker roster include Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone, Mastercard’s Jill Kramer, and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. They join a group of previously announced industry titans, such as Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, NHL Commissioner Gary B. Bettman, and Sony Group Corporation President Hiroki Totoki. The event is supported by Hearst and PwC, alongside a coalition of media and technology firms. Founded in 1995 by Frank A. Bennack, Jr. and Henry A. Kissinger, the summit continues to serve as a primary forum for executives to navigate rapid industrial change.
