GEN AI Summit 2026: the second edition of the key event on generative AI in Europe now has a date
Generative artificial intelligence is no longer a promise: it is a reality that is transforming products, processes, and business models. That was made very clear in the first—and successful—edition of this year’s Gen AI Summit Europe. If we have learned anything after the hype, it is that the important thing is not to understand the technology, but to know how to apply it. And that is exactly where this key conference comes in, the GEN AI Summit 2026, which already has a date and on April 17 and 18, 2026, will celebrate its second edition in Valencia.
400 professionals. 1 space. Everything to be built.
After a first edition with sold-out tickets and enthusiastic feedback from attendees and sponsors, this year we are doubling down: more content, more connections, more impact. The GEN AI Summit is consolidating itself as the most relevant technical meeting point in southern Europe to talk—in depth—about generative AI.
The attending profiles are not coming to hang out: they are coming to connect, learn, and contribute. CTOs, CDOs, Tech Leads, CIOs, developers, data scientists, product builders, strategists, and other innovation leaders will gather in a meticulously designed experience.
Content that doesn’t stay on the surface
The agenda gets straight to the point: 16 talks, 2 panels, 2 workshops, and many conversations behind the scenes. Topics to be addressed include:
In addition, the event incorporates, at the request of the attendees of the first edition, hands-on technical workshops led by active experts from the best companies leading the AI wave.
- European regulation and the AI Act: towards a framework of trust and compliance
- Agentic architectures and autonomous systems
- SLMs vs LLMs: efficiency, scalability, and new hybrid models
- Applied AI in industry: success stories and real learnings
- Ethics, biases, and diversity
- Security, emerging risks, and foresight
A Summit with purpose and in community
Part of the DNA of the GEN AI Summit EU is its network of collaborating technology communities. In 2026, we will once again have key alliances throughout the country, from Women Techmakers, Spain AI, Valencia JS, Flutter Valencia Community, AI Engineers Barcelona, Latinas In Tech, APIAddicts, Codemotion, Arcasiles Group, LIDR, Valencia Tech Women, and GDGs from all over the country, among others that we may be leaving out.
A national strategy to amplify the conversation
The GEN AI Summit is not limited to Valencia. As part of our positioning strategy, we promote the event’s visibility throughout the year through the Side Event Meetups Series: technical meetings in key cities such as Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, or Seville, co-created with local communities and strategic partners.
In 2025, we collaborated with companies like Malt, Capgemini, and AHORA to bring the conversation about generative AI to new audiences. This year, we are starting right away with our first event in Barcelona with Innoit Consulting: an informal technical session with a DJ for networking, which will kick off an edition that promises to break records. You can register now here.
This strategy allows us to:
- Activate community in different territories
- Detect emerging talent and themes
- Invite profiles to participate that are not always in the “usual circuits”
This distributed approach allows us to activate the event long before it is held: we organize technical meetings, co-create content with local references and sponsoring companies, give a voice and share visibility with those who drive the conversation from each territory. This is how we build a community that not only participates in the Summit, but recognizes it as its own.
For attendees: content, connections, and context
🎯 If you work in technology, this event connects you with the topics that will mark the course of your career for the next 3 years. 🎯 If you lead teams or products, you will find inspiration and concrete cases to make decisions with more criteria. 🎯 If you are a founder or part of a startup, it is the place to give yourself visibility and build real alliances.
Last year, the feedback was clear: “Finally, an event that understands the technical community: no smoke, no posturing, just useful content and a good atmosphere.” The GEN AI Summit combines the latest in generative AI—with a real focus on technology, not empty trends—, designed by and for technical profiles. In addition, it directly showcases the companies that are leading real AI projects, creating an authentic showcase of the talent, solutions, and teams that are making a difference.
The place matters: Valencia, a hub of innovation in the Mediterranean
With more than 1,500 active startups and a constantly growing ecosystem, Valencia has established itself as one of the most vibrant technology hubs in Europe. The event’s headquarters will be Innsomnia, a benchmark space in open innovation, with a sea view and a lot of history behind it.
In this environment, the Summit becomes not only a conference, but an experience to remember that puts Valencia at the center of the scene and allows non-locals to explore the city over the two days of the conference (Friday and Saturday), and why not—as many did in 2025—stay to enjoy the weekend alone, with friends, or with family.
