The Community

Built on 10 years of trust

We're here for the founders transforming SaaS for the AI era, the founders building AI-native from scratch, and the investors backing both.
SS

"We built a $10M ARR company on the per-seat model. Last year I realised that model was going to be the problem, not the solution. The conversations I had were the ones that helped me figure out what to do next. Shift AI is where I'm going to figure out whether I got it right."

Stefan Smulders.

Founder, Expandi.io

"As someone building AI-native products in Barcelona, Shift AI Europe feels like it was made for this moment and for people like me. It's where the conversations actually matter."

Dani Carmona

CEO, Supersonik

NL

"There's a massive divide building between AI first founders and other founders who are moving too slow. After interviewing 3,800+ founders on my podcast, the winners and fast growers are building AI into everything they do. The best way to catch up on the latest strategy is to meet these fast growing founders at events created by Alex and his team at Shift AI. Don't miss Shift Europe!"

Nathan Latka.

Founder & CEO, Founderpath

THE VENUE

Barcelona.
Where it's heading.

Barcelona is the right city for this event. Not just because it's one of Europe's fastest-growing tech hubs, but because it's where the global AI conversation is already happening. The city draws international founders, operators, and investors year-round. The networks here run deep, and the energy is unlike anywhere else in Europe.

The event will be held at the Palau Congressos Barcelona in the centre of the city, accessible from Barcelona El Prat Airport in under 30 minutes. We have secured a hotel partnership, more information for best rates will be shared in June 2026.
