Europe's biggest AI event returns to Barcelona. 2 full days of innovation.
Where 10,000 builders, founders and decision-makers gather not to speculate, but to move.
The strength of one of Europe's most dynamic tech ecosystems. The intensity and openness of Barcelona. No inflated promises. No empty futurism.
16–23 September
One week. The whole city. If you build, lead, fund AI in Europe, you'll be here.
50+ different events organized by our partners. Workshops, meetups, and networking across Barcelona throughout the week.
When the sun goes down… music, DJs, food, culture. Because this is Barcelona. And innovation here has a pulse.
AI Summit Barcelona is a tech festival built around doing, not watching. Every format is designed to put you inside the technology.
AI products running in real conditions. No safety net, no controlled environment. Companies demo their actual product on stage. The audience sees everything.
HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
Not notes. Not a summary PDF. An actual output produced during the session. Small groups. A practitioner who has shipped this in production. A real problem to solve.
REAL USE CASES ON STAGE
Practitioners showing how they deployed AI in production — not the sanitised version. What broke, what worked, what the ROI actually looked like, and what they would do differently.
KEYNOTES
Not a CEO reading slides. Keynotes at AI Summit Barcelona are timed, dense, and opinionated. One idea, argued properly, in front of 10,000 people. No panels disguised as keynotes.
PANELS
Not four people agreeing on stage. Panels are formatted for friction: a specific question, a time limit, and speakers selected because they hold different positions. The moderator's job is to surface the conflict, not smooth it.
The Activation Village is not a passive expo walk. Teams bring working products into a curated floor with live demos, real installs, and people beside you while everything runs in the open. Move between interactive stations, watch AI output land in real time, and use hands-on activations built to touch, test, and break.
AI WEEK BARCELONA — SEPTEMBER 16–23
AI Week Barcelona runs September 16–23. 50+ events across the city — hackathons, rooftop sessions, boat activations on the Mediterranean, satellite meetups in every district. The festival starts before you arrive at the World Trade Center.
Featured Speakers
Practitioners, founders, and researchers. People who have shipped, not people who predict.
