About this event

What to expect

Meet founders, engineers, researchers and creatives for AI lightning talks and curated rooftop networking in Barcelona.

Taking place on Thursday, 12 November 2026, from 7:00–10:00 PM CET, this weekly afterwork brings Barcelona’s technology, science and arts communities together at ICON Hotel, C/ de Roger de Llúria, 21. The listing says the series continues every Thursday until 25 February 2027.

What to expect

The organiser describes the community as highly curated, bringing together ambitious local and international professionals, including startup founders, engineers, scientists, designers, artists and digital nomads. The format includes:

  • 7:30 PM: Rooftop gathering, with drinks available from the hotel’s menu
  • Lightning talks: Short, spontaneous contributions from community members covering AI breakthroughs, startup stories and art-tech collaborations
  • Open networking: Small-group conversations designed to encourage idea-sharing and potential collaborations

No fixed speaker line-up or detailed talk agenda has been published; the lightning talks come directly from attendees. Unlike a loud social mixer, the evening is positioned around thoughtful professional conversations in a rooftop setting.

The event is organised by Barcelona Techies 2 and hosted by Metapilot Academy. You can also follow the community on Instagram.

Tickets are handled separately through Luma, so registration is required. View the event and register.
