TechEx Europe 2026: Eight Events, 8,000 Tech Leaders, One Enterprise Agenda
The RAI Amsterdam hosts Europe’s co-located enterprise technology summit on 19-20 October, with a programme built around execution rather than hype.
July 7, 2026 – 7:50 am
Most large organisations now have the AI budgets approved and the transformation roadmaps drawn up. The harder question is what actually reaches production. That gap between strategy and delivery is the organising idea behind TechEx Europe 2026, which runs on 19 and 20 October at the RAI Amsterdam and gathers senior enterprise technology leaders from across Europe around a single theme: execution.
Structurally, TechEx is eight co-located events under one pass, spanning:
- AI and Big Data
- Cyber Security and Cloud
- Digital Transformation
- Intelligent Automation
- IoT Tech
- Edge Computing
- Data Centres
- A new Physical AI Expo
The notable addition this year is the Physical AI track, reflecting the move of machine learning off the screen and into robotics, autonomous systems, and sensor-driven environments. One ticket covers all eight, fitting how tightly these areas overlap in practice: an AI deployment is also a data problem, a security problem, and eventually a question of where the compute sits.
The agenda leans on people who have shipped something, with practitioner-led sessions, technical case studies, and architecture discussions from teams running real deployments. Organisers expect more than 8,000 professionals and over 200 speakers from companies including Coca-Cola, Citi, Google, Unilever, IKEA, Booking.com, Nestlé, Lloyds Banking Group, ING, Santander, Michelin, and Heineken.
The audience is aimed at people who own outcomes: CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, chief data officers, enterprise architects, heads of engineering, and AI and transformation leads. For them, the value is hearing how peers solved the same problems, from modernising a data platform to scaling automation across sites, with the specifics that vendor pitches tend to leave out.
The timing fits the moment. European enterprises are navigating AI adoption, tighter cybersecurity requirements, the economics of where data and compute reside, and regulation that treats all of it as a governance question rather than IT housekeeping. Putting data, security, and infrastructure leaders in the same building reflects how connected those problems have become. The strategies are mostly settled; the hard part, as ever, is getting them to run, and that is the case TechEx is making for October.
