Onwards Barcelona 2025

An innovation festival exploring new ways of thinking and working.

Onwards 2026

The world is moving faster than we can keep up. AI is changing how we work, how we learn, and how we live. But in all this acceleration, are we asking the right questions? Join us on a voyage to find the answers. 

Onwards 2026 is where we slow down to make sense of what's happening. Two days of talks, workshops, and honest conversations for anyone asking the most important question of our time: how to be human in the age of AI.

Topic

01

Working

When the tools can do more, what's left for us to bring to the table? We explore how AI is reshaping companies and careers, which skills will hold value, and what it actually looks like to build an organization for this new era.

Topic

02

Learning

When knowledge is everywhere and change is constant, the real edge is curiosity. We dig into how we grow, adapt, and stay curious—from how the brain actually learns to why asking better questions might matter more than having the right answers.

Topic

03

Living

Beyond the workplace, AI is quietly reshaping our health, our relationships, how our kids grow up, and what we do with our time. We explore what it takes to protect the things that make life meaningful—and how to stay human when the machines get smarter.
