Technology trade shows in Spain 2027
Updated on 11 November 2026
In 2027 Barcelona and Madrid are again the main hosts of Spain’s technology calendar, with events in Málaga and Valencia too. It starts in January with ICE and ISE and runs through to Smart City Expo in November.
If you work in technology, trade shows are still where you see what is new, hold meetings and meet clients and partners in just a few days. In this 2027 technology trade show calendar you will find Spain’s tech events sorted by month, with official dates, venue and a short description. When an organiser has not published dates yet, we say so and will update the article as soon as they do.

Why exhibit at a technology trade show?
At a trade show you pack into a few days the meetings and contacts that would take months to get otherwise. Your stand lets you show your product working, answer questions on the spot and build trust with clients who do not know you yet.
Results are measured in meetings booked, demos given, qualified contacts and closed sales, not just stand visits. It works best in three stages: before, with your agenda ready; during, with a team that knows what data to collect; and after, with quick follow-up.
