DOK 2026 returns to Bilbao to bring together innovation, technology, and people

May 7, 2026

Following the resounding success of our first edition, we are thrilled to officially announce the dates for the upcoming event that will shape the future of technology and innovation: DOK – Digital Open Knowledge 2026 will take place on November 23 and 24 in Bilbao.

Save the date! We’re back with even more energy, more ideas, and more opportunities to connect.

Building on the Success of 2024: From Conversation to Collaboration

Last year, DOK 2024 brought together more than 1,100 professionals, industry leaders, and tech visionaries. It was a dynamic platform where not only were trends discussed, but real partnerships were forged. Proof of this is the recent collaboration with our partners in Colombia, which led to a Basque delegation participating in the prestigious Experiencia Tech event in Medellín, demonstrating that DOK is more than just a conference; it is a catalyst for global opportunities.

DOK 2026: What to Expect?

By 2026, we are designing an even more enriching experience. Our mission remains the same: to explore the intersection of technology and its human, social, and business impact. However, this year, we’re raising the bar.

  1. Cutting-edge topics: We will continue to explore the cornerstones of digital transformation—such as Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and the Data Economy—but with a fresh perspective. We will delve into how these technologies are not only evolving but also redefining the way we live, work, and build a sustainable future.
  2. A bridge between continents: we will strengthen our international ties, particularly with Latin America. DOK 2026 will serve as a key platform for connecting talent, investment, and innovation between Europe and the Americas, creating a truly global ecosystem of collaboration.
  3. Focus on the talent of the future: we understand that the future of technology depends on people. That is why we will expand our initiatives to connect young talent with leading companies, promoting mentoring, professional development, and the creation of direct job opportunities during the event.

A new look for a new era

As you may have noticed, we’re revamping our brand and our website. This blog is just the first step. We want to create a space for ongoing dialogue—a place where the DOK community can stay connected, informed, and inspired all year round. Here, we’ll share updates, news, opinion pieces, and everything you need to know about the journey toward DOK 2026.
