The Valencia tech ecosystem is heading north, and we’re making sure we show up in force. This isn’t just another conference trip—it’s about ensuring the Valencia Tech Crew has a home base in the middle of the MWC/4YFN madness.
Whether you're a founder pitching at 4YFN or a tech leader scouting for the next big thing, don’t navigate the Fira alone. We’re gathering the local community to travel, network, and hit the best side events as a pack.
Dates: March 2 – March 5, 2026
Route: Valencia âž” Barcelona
Cost: Free (This is a community-led networking initiative)
MWC is massive, but it's the connections you make outside the booths that matter. Join us to:
The "Train Boardroom": We’re coordinating the Monday morning Euromed/AVE. Start the networking at 200km/h before we even hit Barcelona.
4YFN Meetups: We’ll have daily "VLC Rally Points" in Hall 8.1 to swap notes, share leads, and support Valencia-based startups on stage.
Side Event Safari: The best parts of MWC happen after hours. We’re scouting the best "Off-MWC" parties, rooftop mixers, and tech breakfasts so we can roll in together.
VLC After-Hours: Casual evening meetups in the city to decompress, share the day's wins, and grab a beer away from the conference noise.
Monday, March 2: The Departure Meet at JoaquĂn Sorolla for the morning transit. Look for the group with the most laptop stickers and the "VLC Tech" energy.
Tuesday, March 3: The 4YFN Deep Dive Morning coffee meet at the 4YFN entrance. We’ll hit the startup stages together and make sure the Valencia presence is felt.
Wednesday, March 4: Side Event Night This is the peak night for parties. We’ll be using our group chat to coordinate which events are worth the queue and heading there as a squad.
This is a grassroots initiative — no tickets, just community. Reach out to Vitalii to get added to the Valencia Tech MWC WhatsApp group, where we coordinate travel times and meeting points in real-time.
