About

The International Strategic Communication Summit (STRATCOM Summit) 2026, held under the theme “Disruption in the International System: Crises, Narratives, and Search for Order,” convenes at a time of visible strain and structural fragmentation in the international order.

The current disruption reflects not only geopolitical and economic transformation, but also an expanding arena of narrative competition. As concepts such as security, justice, and order are being redefined, the narratives that resonate with global public opinion have become as influential as material capabilities.

Within this context, STRATCOM Summit 2026 will examine the evolving role of strategic communication in a period marked by crises and the search for order. By bringing together policymakers, experts, communication professionals, academics, civil society representatives, and think tanks, the Summit will provide a platform to discuss how communication can contribute to resilience, coordination, and greater stability in the international system.

Concept

Stratcom Summit 2022 is opening its gates again in Istanbul between 2-3 December 2022 with the theme of "Strategic Communication in the Age of Uncertainty" in order to share experience with the leaders of strategic communication and develop new strategies.

As international uncertainties, humanitarian and environmental crises and regional instability deteriorates; Stratcom Summit will host leaders to build organizational resilience, capacity building, leadership, professionalism and excellence in the face of communications challenges.

In coping with this multi-faceted transformation and challenges, it has become more precious than ever for states, private sector and non-governmental organizations, media platforms and academia to unite in policy making, coordination and implementation stages to develop cooperation areas with a truth-first and citizen-oriented approach.

The International Strategic Communications Summit 2022 (Stratcom Summit ‘22) presents an innovative and resilient platform for discussion and negotiation in the context of policy development, coordination and governance for major crises faced by states and citizens in the age of post-truth and uncertainty.
