About Smart City Expo World Congress 2026

Smart City Expo World Congress is the world's leading event for cities and urban innovation, held each November at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. The 2026 edition runs 3-5 November 2026. Organised by Fira de Barcelona, it gathers around 1,000 exhibitors and draws over 25,000 attendees, bringing together city governments, technology companies, mobility and energy providers and urban planners around governance, mobility, sustainability and digital transformation, with hundreds of speakers across themed stages.

Smart City Expo is a solutions-and-congress event, and its stands reflect a mix of technology demonstration and institutional presence. Technology exhibitors build demo-led stands showing platforms, sensors, mobility and energy solutions, while cities and public bodies build presentation-focused stands for meetings and showcasing projects. The blend of live demonstration, meeting space and speaking areas means stands balance AV and connectivity with a professional, policy-oriented environment.

The event occupies halls at the Gran Via venue organised by theme, so placement relative to a company's focus area affects footfall and adjacency to relevant partners and public bodies. The technology demonstrations bring power and data requirements, and Fira de Barcelona's technical rules apply. The November slot places it among a busy period for the venue. Exhibitors confirm stand design and placement well ahead.

For companies and cities exhibiting at Smart City Expo, a builder with Barcelona and Fira Gran Via experience is a practical advantage: technology-and-presentation stands carry AV, data and meeting requirements, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics and approved contractors reduces risk during one of the key urban-innovation weeks in the calendar.
