What it is

A festival of CTOs, not a vendor fair.

CTO AI Summit brings together Spain's top IT leaders, CTOs, CIOs and VPs of Engineering to tackle the biggest technology challenges and network with their peers.

AI is no longer just an innovation: it is becoming a must-have in products and services. The people who genuinely understand its potential — technology leaders — are the ones driving its implementation across companies and society.

So the programme is not about technology in the abstract. It is about what a CTO actually faces: managing talent, teams, change and AI adoption so they add real business value.

The tracks

Five conversations, two days.
