EuroSPI² 2026 (8 - 10 September 2026) has 8 international thematic workshop streams supported by thematic topic communities and international key notes. Each thematic stream integrates both, research sessions and industry / applied science sessions. The thematic streams are a mix of talks provoking discussions, full presentations and panel discussions which focus on specific questions of interest. In addition there is a half day about new research and industry project and funding proposal ideas. Some streams run longer than one day depending on the size of the community and contributions.
Each thematic workshop covers specific thematic topics and mixes research and industry presentations/discussions on that specific topic.
Hybrid Event (Online and Onsite Participation Possible)
The conference is since 2020 organised as a hybrid event. Using advanced technology with Teams sessions, cameras, micros, sound boxes and technical administration, plus all presentations in a Moodle portal, for all 4 parallel rooms, lively interactions (communication between online and onsite) is established. One the of leading industry attendees stated : "From all conferences using this new technology, you were the best!".

The EuroSPI 2026 Program
The conference has 4 parallel streams. Each stream contains a mix of research and industry/applied science papers/presentations. Also each stream contains a mix of pitch talks (show key message and discuss) and full presentations. Also there will be one new session about high maturity organisations. The future conference strategy of EuroSPI² is to gather core topics and build communities around the core thematic topics. Leading industry and research lead the thematic topic streams.
Also EuroSPI² continuously builds the SPI strategy and understanding in Europe and the world and continues to promote and develop the SPI Manifesto.
Attendees can book single days, any combination of 2 days, or all 3 days.
