The conference venue in New Delhi will be announced here. As in 2026, the conference and the study tour will start from the same hotel.

Business casual.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) serves New Delhi. Taxis are available directly outside the terminals, and app-based cabs can be booked in advance. Hotel transfers can be arranged once the festival hotel is confirmed.
Most visitors need a visa to enter India. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa online; check the requirements for your passport well in advance and allow time for processing. INMA can provide a letter confirming your registration on request.
Study tour participants travel together by coach. In the city, app-based cabs and the Delhi Metro are the easiest ways to get around.
Daytime maximum temperatures usually average around 35°C (95°F), with the potential to reach 38–40°C (100–104°F). Night-time minimums are typically around 27°C (81°F). July is one of Delhi’s wettest months, so expect monsoon showers.
An umbrella for the frequent rain showers, light cotton clothing to stay as cool and comfortable as possible, and plenty of liquids to stay hydrated.
If you have a spare half-day: India Gate, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Sunder Nursery, Qutb Minar, Lodhi Garden, the National Gallery of Modern Art and the National Crafts Museum.



The festival is supported by companies that work with news media across South Asia. Opportunities to support the 2027 festival, from the study tour to the conference, are available; contact INMA to discuss them.
Hotel and programme updates will be published here as they are confirmed. Fees are on the Registration page.
