SUMMARY:Q-Expo 2026
DESCRIPTION:Q-Expo is growing alongside the quantum industry. Following the success of our 2025 edition\, which brought together nearly 800 delegates from across the globe\, the 2026 expo in Bilbao marks our most ambitious event to date. \nFor 2026\, Q-Expo introduces a fully integrated two-day format where the Exhibition and Plenary Sessions run in harmony across both days. This dynamic structure maximises visibility for exhibitors\, increases attendee engagement\, and creates continuous opportunities for high-value networking. \nExplore cutting-edge quantum solutions\, meet leading technology providers\, and connect with end-users\, investors\, researchers\, policymakers\, and innovators from across the quantum ecosystem. \nThroughout both days\, plenary keynotes and panel discussions are seamlessly embedded into the programme — ensuring strong audience flow between the exhibition floor and the conference stage\, and giving speakers and exhibitors equal opportunity to shine.
