International Roundtable Conference,

Haghartsin Monastery, Armenia

September 17-20, 2026

ABOUT

Taking place at the historic Haghartsin Monastery, this international roundtable conference gathers thought leaders to reflect on how Christianity should understand and respond to the civilizational conditions emerging after postmodernity.

CONFERENCE THEME

We are living through a period of profound technological acceleration and cultural fragmentation. Humanity’s capacity to transform reality has expanded dramatically, while our shared moral and intellectual frameworks have weakened. Postmodern currents have eroded confidence in truth, destabilised inherited understandings of identity and meaning, and contributed to a broader crisis of moral and intellectual disorientation in public life. At the same time, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and synthetic biology are raising fundamental questions about the nature of the human person and the limits of technological power.

Noah’s Land aims to create a space for candid, rigorous discussion of these developments and for the articulation of a coherent Christian response.

Exclusive Gathering

Invitation-only event ensuring high-level discourse.

Intimate Scale

Limited to approximately 30 leading Christian thinkers, theologians, philosophers, clergy, scholars, and public intellectuals for interaction.

Fully Hosted

Traveling, accommodation and participation fully covered by "Amrots" Foundation.

Location

Historic Haghartsin Monastery, Armenia

Armenia provides a uniquely meaningful setting for such a conversation. Long associated with the resting place of Noah’s Ark and the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion, it stands symbolically and historically at the crossroads of civilisations.

Nestled in the lush forests of Dilijan, the 13th-century Haghartsin Monastery provides an unparalleled atmosphere for deep reflection. Disconnected from the digital noise, it serves as the perfect setting to contemplate the future of Christianity.
