Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Indonesia’s Ministry of Culture is preparing to host the Chandi Summit 2025, an international cultural event set to take place in Bali from September 3–5, 2025. The gathering is expected to become one of the key highlights on the global cultural calendar.
The summit will bring together cultural leaders, academics, researchers, and representatives from international organizations engaged in heritage preservation. Organizers say the event will serve not only as an academic forum, but also as a platform for cultural diplomacy — combining in-depth discussions, knowledge exchange, and cross-border collaboration.
By choosing Bali, the ministry aims to showcase Indonesia’s rich traditions while engaging with the modern global discourse. The island’s spiritual atmosphere and natural beauty are expected to provide an ideal backdrop for conversations centered on local wisdom and sustainable cultural stewardship.

The Chandi Summit 2025 will address strategic themes such as the preservation of historical sites, safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, and the role of technological innovation in protecting heritage from damage and loss of authenticity. International speakers will share best practices from their respective countries, while Indonesian delegates will present both successes and challenges in preserving the nation’s cultural wealth.
Organizers hope the summit will pave the way for tangible cultural partnerships including joint research, educational programs, and cross-cultural exchanges. It will also give artists, indigenous communities, and young people a voice in shaping the future of cultural preservation.
Bali was selected as the host for its global reputation as a cultural destination and meeting hub. With strong infrastructure, renowned hospitality, and living traditions, the island is expected to offer participants an experience that is both informative and memorable.
For the latest updates on the event agenda, speaker list, and registration details, the ministry has launched the official website chandisummit2025.org, which will provide comprehensive information and regular updates in the lead-up to the summit.
