AI Summit Barcelona

Description

AI Summit Barcelona 2026 returns to the Mediterranean waterfront for two days of actionable AI innovation, bringing together 10,000+ professionals who are building, deploying, and scaling artificial intelligence in production. Taking place September 22–23 at the World Trade Center Barcelona, this isn't a traditional conference — it's a hands-on gathering of practitioners, founders, and engineers shipping real AI solutions across fashion, healthcare, infrastructure, government, and beyond. The summit features 200 speakers delivering live demos and workshops rather than generic keynotes. Confirmed speakers include **Bhavishya Ramchander** (CEO of Reloom™) discussing AI-powered sustainability verification in fashion, **Ariadna Masó** (Founder of SANNO) on practice management systems that enable real-world health observational studies, **Nouamane Tazi** (ML Engineer at [Hugging Face](https://www.huggingface.co)) sharing insights from frontier model training and his work on StarCoder2 and SmolLM3, and **Don Kilburg** (Founder of Mind Leap Institute) presenting AI adoption frameworks embedded in U.S. government training. What makes this event unique is its integration with [Barcelona](https://www.createwith.com/cities/barcelona)'s broader tech ecosystem. The summit anchors a city-wide AI festival running September 16–23, featuring rooftop gatherings, founder dinners, private meetups, and partner activations across Barcelona. The week kicks off with a 48-hour hackathon on September 19–20 at Norrsken Barcelona, where builders compete and push the boundaries of applied AI. With 100+ investors in attendance and 50+ side events, AI Summit Barcelona creates unmatched opportunities for networking, fundraising, and partnerships. The setting — Barcelona's World Trade Center on the Mediterranean waterfront — provides an inspiring backdrop for two days of intensive learning and collaboration. This is where Europe's most vibrant tech city meets the global AI community.
