Dublin Tech Summit 2026 Shows Where Tech Is Heading

Dublin Tech Summit returns to the RDS in Dublin on May 27 and 28, 2026. This year marks the event’s tenth edition.

The summit is expected to bring together around 8,000 attendees, 200 international speakers, 160 exhibitors, and people from more than 70 countries.

What makes it interesting is the range of topics. The speaker lineup covers AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure, fintech, media, agritech, startups, and policy. You also have companies like Dow Jones, Siemens, Carta, Workhuman, bunq, and Thales involved.

Some of the speakers already announced for 2026 include Sarah Wynn Williams, Vrushali Paunikar from Carta, Eric Mosley from Workhuman, Bianca Zwart from bunq, Almar Latour from Dow Jones, and Andrew Melchior, who has worked with Bowie, Björk, and Massive Attack.

The event is spread across four stages and includes workshops, live podcasts, startup showcases, exhibitor areas, and side events around Dublin.

A lot of the focus this year is around AI, deep tech, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and the future of work. But it is not only about trends. The event also looks at the practical side of things: what companies are building, where money is going, and what people are paying attention to right now.

Dublin Tech Summit started in 2017 and has grown into one of the larger tech events in Europe. It has grown alongside Dublin itself, which keeps attracting more startups, investment, and tech companies.

That is probably what makes the event interesting

. It is not only about big ideas. It is also about seeing where the industry is actually heading and which companies are shaping it.
