Hosted by CIDAI / Eurecat

AI Congress Barcelona 2026 brings AI and business together at L’illa Auditorium in Barcelona, from 20–22 October 2026. The three-day, English-language conference offers an opportunity to explore artificial intelligence through a business-focused lens while connecting with Catalonia’s wider AI ecosystem. Catalonia’s leading AI and business conference Now entering its 12th edition, AI Congress Barcelona is organised by Eurecat and CIDAI as part of the Catalan government’s AI strategy. Its established place in the regional technology calendar makes it particularly relevant for people who want to understand how AI intersects with business, innovation and the development of Catalonia’s AI landscape. The congress takes place entirely on site at L’illa Auditorium, giving attendees three days in a dedicated conference environment rather than an online or hybrid experience. Although the published event information does not yet identify individual speakers or provide a session-by-session agenda, its central theme is clear: the role of AI in business. Who should attend? The event is suited to professionals and organisations interested in the practical and strategic implications of artificial intelligence, including: - Business leaders and decision-makers following AI developments - Innovation, digital transformation and technology teams - AI practitioners, researchers and ecosystem participants - Founders and product professionals exploring business applications of AI - Public- and private-sector stakeholders interested in Catalonia’s AI strategy No specific experience level or technical prerequisite is stated. As a conference rather than a workshop, it should appeal most to attendees looking for business context, sector insight and in-person industry connections. The English-language format also makes the programme accessible to an international audience visiting Barcelona.

PontIA Connect brings AI talks, a live generative AI demonstration and industry networking to Talent Garden Madrid on 23 October 2026, from 4pm to 9pm. Designed to connect current AI developments with practical business applications, this five-hour, in-person event offers an opportunity to understand how artificial intelligence works, discover innovations shaping the sector and meet professionals involved in the technology’s future.

At 4pm, PontIA CEO Jesús Garrido will open the event with an introduction to the day and a roadmap for the real-world application of AI across today’s business landscape. A featured session follows at 4:15pm: “Does artificial intelligence think? Live Tokenizer demonstration”, led by Carlos Moreno, Head of AI at BBVA. This practical talk will demystify generative AI and examine why language models operate through statistics and probability rather than human-style reasoning. Attendees will see how these systems: - Divide written language into tokens - Transform text into numerical representations - Predict the next word from its surrounding context - Change their responses when model settings are adjusted Using OpenAI’s Tokenizer in a live, on-screen demonstration, Moreno will show how a machine processes language. He will also adjust parameters such as model temperature in real time, illustrating how these controls can affect the creativity of generated responses. Who it is for PontIA Connect is relevant to people who want to keep up with AI trends and understand their application in business, as well as professionals interested in data, generative AI and the wider technology sector. Its combination of an accessible technical explanation, practical demonstration, company stands and networking creates value for both those exploring AI concepts and those seeking new industry connections.… Register for this event
