Santander's architectural jewel. The summer residence of the Spanish Royal Family until 1931, now home to the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo. Set on a headland with panoramic views over the Bay of Biscay and Santander Bay. A singular setting for the official opening and the exclusive VIP forum.
The heart of FoundAItion 2027. Cantabria's largest congress facility, with modular capacity for 5,000 people spread across the Grand Auditorium, eight simultaneous track rooms and the Exhibition Hall. Purpose-built for the high-intensity programme that FoundAItion delivers.
Santander's multipurpose arena for major entertainment events. FoundAItion 2027 draws to a close with a special public closing concert, blending the energy of the congress with live music culture.
The most elegant stage of FoundAItion. Regular home of the Festival Internacional de Santander, featuring a terrace over the bay that ranks among the most photogenic spaces on the entire Cantabrian coastline. Here the Closing Gala takes place in full MORBO style: intimate, glamorous, with sweeping views across the bay.
The university campus as a living hub of knowledge. The Universidad de Cantabria opens its facilities for the FoundAItion academic track: research sessions, technology transfer, and the business-academia bridge that shifts the paradigm of AI conferences.
