Final Week for Early Bird Registration – CDFAM Barcelona

Final Chance: Early Bird Rates Close This Week for CDFAM Barcelona

This is the final week to register at the Early Bird rate for CDFAM Barcelona 2026, taking place April 8–9.

The Barcelona program will feature two days of technical presentations and case studies spanning computational design, simulation-driven engineering, advanced manufacturing, and architectural systems.

The agenda will highlight the emerging role of AI and machine-learning–based methods within these practices, with contributions from industry, academia, and software developers focused on practical workflows, underlying computational frameworks, and real-world application. The full program and speaker lineup will be updated continually leading up to the event.

The symposium will take place at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB), a major international research center located on the Mediterranean coastline.

Carrer del Doctor Aiguader, 88, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona, Spain

The venue sits directly on the waterfront, with networking sessions held on the outdoor deck overlooking the ocean, offering space for informal discussion alongside the technical program.

It’s Really All About the Networking

While the presentations are always inspiring, with the leading practitioners in their given field giving succinct and well polished presentations in their allotted 20 minute slot, it is the networking sessions in the breaks where a lot of the real action happens.

The attendees at CDFAM are typically at the same level of expertise, all working at the cutting edge of computational design, AI and machine learning. Some unable to present due to their companies strict policy about sharing IP, or they are working at the most bleeding edge stealth startup backed by a billionaire who will not let them utter a word on stage, but all of them come together in the breaks to share ideas, insights and NDA-avoiding gossip about what they and their peers are working on, making the type of connections that are not really possible in the humblebrag echo chamber of Linkedin.

So, please join us, bring a colleague, share the word, we hope to see you in Barcelona this Spring.
