FoundAItion 2027 doesn't end when the screens go dark. Four nights of world-class entertainment: VIP cocktails, dinner parties, a live concert, and the finest cuisine from northern Spain.
The private pre-party. The night before the summit, international keynote speakers, the institutional committee, and the first VIP attendees gather at the Hotel Real in Santander. Cantabrian contemporary cuisine served as finger food, the official AIRES toast, and the most valuable networking of the four days: off-the-record conversations among the people shaping global AI.
The first day of the summit closes with the official Dinner Party at the Palacio de Festivales. Northern Spanish cuisine, a terrace overlooking the sea, and a DJ set that carries the evening into the early hours. Santander's most festive and elegant venue — the perfect setting to celebrate that FoundAItion has begun.
The night where science becomes a celebration. The Palacio de Deportes opens its doors for the FoundAItion 2027 concert. Open to the general public. A premium production featuring national and international artists, state-of-the-art screens, and the most powerful sound system in northern Spain. The energy of thousands of people who have just lived two days of transformation.
The grand finale of FoundAItion 2027. After the official closing ceremony and the agreements signed, all attendees share a farewell lunch: sea and mountain at its finest. Traditional Cantabrian cuisine, regional wines, and the promise to return in 2028.
The best networking doesn't happen by chance. FoundAItion features an AI-powered matchmaking system that connects attendees with complementary profiles: startups with investors, CIOs with solution providers, researchers with companies. The app suggests 20-minute 1:1 meetings in the Speaker Lounge, the VIP Terrace, or the Palace gardens.
Evening experiences are included based on your ticket type. The Dinner Party and VIP Cocktail require VIP or Speaker accreditation.
