22@Afterwork | Smart City Expo 2026

22@Network Barcelona's afterwork, in a special edition timed for Smart City Expo week and held with Hotel Arts Barcelona on Carrer de la Marina.

22@Network is the association of the companies, startups, universities, technology centres and institutions in the 22@ innovation district, and this edition opens the usual members' evening out to the international delegations and innovation-district representatives in town for the congress. The organisers describe it plainly as an informal evening for meeting people and finding opportunities rather than a programme: no talks, no panels. Doors 18:30, two hours. Ticketed through Eventbrite with no refunds; the Eventbrite total stored against this listing is 18.15 euros, though the public page does not display a price until checkout.

Why go: the 22@ district's own network is hard to get into from outside, and congress week is when it opens the door. Best if you want introductions inside Barcelona's innovation district specifically.
