Creative Week Frankfurt 2026

A conference for the creative industries and a festival will transform Frankfurt into a stage for creativity.

Under the patronage of Mayor Mike Josef, around 40 events are planned. They will showcase the potential, diversity, and importance of Frankfurt's creative industries.

Conference: Eleven associations from eleven sub-sectors of the cultural and creative industries will contribute their perspectives, forge connections across industry boundaries, and make their topics accessible to a broad audience. Especially in a time when artificial intelligence, digitalization, sustainability, and new forms of collaboration are changing our lives and work environments, the ability to rethink familiar concepts and develop innovative solutions is becoming increasingly important.

Festival: Here, every citizen can experience the power and atmosphere of creativity throughout the city. The accompanying Creative Week Frankfurt Festival transforms Frankfurt itself into a stage. Studios, museums, clubs, and off-spaces will open their doors and demonstrate the diversity and vibrancy of the city's creative scene.

As an association of the creative industries and initiator of Creative Week Frankfurt, the Cluster of Creative Industries e.V. (CLUK) has joined forces with k/c/e Marketing GmbH. Together they are organizing the conference and festival.
