Event overview
The Storytellers' Conference Chennai 2026, a gathering of storytellers sharing stories, workshops and conversations on the traditions and practice of oral storytelling. A welcome dinner opens proceedings on the evening of 23 September.
Why this matters for speakers
This is the rare Indian event where storytelling is the subject rather than a technique borrowed for a session. The programme runs on workshops and showcases rather than keynotes, so the way in is a facilitator proposal, not a speaker enquiry — a different pitch, built around what an audience will practise rather than what you will say. Workshop calls are announced openly ahead of each edition. For anyone working in business storytelling, this is the room where the craft itself is the point.
Who should attend
Professional storytellers, trainers, speakers, educators, facilitators, communication professionals and narrative practitioners.
