It draws builders, startup founders, engineers, and decision-makers from across Europe, and the flagship two-day summit anchors a wider "AI Week Barcelona" with dozens of partner-run side events across the city. It is a strong fit for founders and technical leaders who want practical, deployment-oriented AI rather than slideware.
