SETTING THE STAGE
This year, the RedTech Summit gathers on the Costa Brava, where the surreal imagination of Salvador Dalí and the visionary design of Antoni Gaudí still echo through Catalonia’s creative landscape. Against this inspiring backdrop, leaders from across the global radio and audio industry will come together to explore how we can adapt and innovate in an era of transformation, from the rise of major streaming platforms to the rapid evolution of digital technologies.
In true RedTech spirit, we’ll share ideas, overcome obstacles and turn innovation into leadership in a setting that inspires creativity and collaboration.
The RedTech Summit 2026 will be held over three nights at the five-star Hotel Santa Marta, an elegant and hidden seaside retreat overlooking the coves of Lloret de Mar. It is the perfect setting to connect, collaborate and be inspired.
