Free Cities Conference 2027

October 28–31, 2027 · Prague

Empire Hall

Slovanský Dům

The Free Cities Conference 2027 takes place at the stunning Empire Hall, a grand Art-Deco ballroom in the heart of Prague’s historic city centre. Returning to the venue that hosted the movement’s recent gatherings, it gives 300–400 attendees a striking setting to learn how they can move to, invest in or do business in a Free City, and to join a community shaping the future of liberty.

Empire Hall sits inside the Slovanský Dům complex on Na Příkopě, one of Prague’s most central streets, with restaurants, hotels and the Old Town all within walking distance. Breakout lounges and an exhibition area surround the main hall, and VIP ticket holders are invited to the speakers’ dinner during the conference.
