There are three weeks left until the tenth edition of the Digital Enterprise Show (DES) (June 9-11), one of the most important events in Europe dedicated to digital transformation, AI and exponential technologies. For the fifth year, Málaga hosts this enormous knowledge and technology fair of which Xataka is Media Partner.
Like every year, the DES has a B2B profile, aimed at the business, institutional and executive sector. Thousands of managers, workers and experts from all business fields will meet for three days at the Malaga Trade Fair and Congress Center (FYCMA), transforming the city into the epicenter of European technology throughout the week.
Thousands of attendees and two large spotlights
With an expected attendance of more than 15,000 people, the organization includes the exhibition of 400 firms and the presentation of more than 700 innovations, many of them tied to artificial intelligence.
The 2026 edition is special because it marks the first decade of DES’ existence. As a tribute and rupture, the organization has broken with its previous structures and has completely redesigned itself under a new hyper-specialized format called ‘DES Universe’. The idea is simple: transform the fair into an “event of events” divided into seven thematic ecosystems that will address from the Cloud until the Digital Marketing Planet.


However, and as could not be otherwise given the current times, DES 2026 will pay special attention to two large thematic areas: the rise of agentic AI and cyber defense, issues that we have discussed at Xataka on a daily basis. The conferences will focus on the integration of AI into everyday life, quantum computingthe work automationthe news in civil and military security and even the rise of drones.
Among the speakers are Randi Zuckerberg (creator of Facebook Live and CEO of Zuckerberg Media), Yongdong Wang (Corporate Vice President of Microsoft), Beatriz Navarro (CMO of Renault) and experts such as Carme Artigas (co-president of the UN AI Consultative Body) and Javier Porras Castaño (Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer of Unicaja), among many others. Xataka will also participate at a round table on June 9 at 5:20 p.m. by yours truly. The complete listas well as the agendacan be consulted on the web.
