MERGE Madrid separates its institutional summit from the main congress
The October 27–29 programme gives Europe–LATAM teams a clearer basis for planning.
MERGE’s official programme lists an Institutional Summit at Bolsa de Madrid on October 27, followed by the main congress at Palacio de Cibeles on October 28–29, 2026. This is the organiser’s schedule, not evidence that sessions have taken place or announced participants have attended.
Access deserves careful reading: the organiser lists different entitlements by pass. A congress ticket should not be assumed to include the institutional programme. Check current availability and the specific pass before making travel or meeting commitments.
For builders working between Europe and LATAM, an institutional event’s value depends on follow-through. Arrive with a defined customer problem, identify who can approve a pilot and agree on the next evidence needed. A conference appearance or shared panel does not itself establish a partnership, deployment or investment.
