Smart City Expo 2026, the Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, is back in Barcelona, Spain from 3 November 2026 to 5 November 2026, once again bringing the sector together in one place. The event connects manufacturers, distributors, buyers and trade professionals, and has grown into a notable fixture on the sector's calendar. This annual gathering builds on each previous edition. Each edition gathers approximately 27000 attendees, making it a major meeting point for the industry.

Barcelona is more than just a backdrop for Smart City Expo 2026 — it is part of the experience. The city is well practised at welcoming international visitors and large-scale gatherings. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Barcelona is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. When it comes to where to stay, Barcelona offers everything from convenient venue-side hotels to boutique options in the heart of the city. Once the day wraps up, Barcelona has no shortage of restaurants, sights and things to do. As one of Spain's key destinations, Barcelona regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

Whether your interest is smart cities or wider sourcing, the floor covers Smart Cities, Urban Systems, Urban Innovation, Urban Mobility and Urban Development in depth. Walking the floor gives visitors a practical, hands-on overview of the latest products and the companies behind them. With 1100+ exhibitors taking part, there is no shortage of partnerships to explore. Credit for the experience goes to Fira de Barcelona, who organise and run the event.

It is the kind of fair where a single meeting can open a new market. Smart City Expo 2026 continues to serve importers, exporters and trade buyers as a practical platform for sourcing, networking and market insight.

Whether you attend for a single day or the full run, planning your visit in advance helps you make the most of your time on site.
