AVL SUMMIT by Afial 2026 opens the space commercialisation period for its second edition.

AFIAL announces the second edition of the Audiovisual Congress in Spain – AVL SUMMIT by AFIAL, taking place on October 7 and 8, 2026, at La Nave in Madrid, and officially opens the commercialisation period for companies and brands interested in participating.

Established as the main meeting point for the professional audiovisual sector in Spain, AVL SUMMIT by AFIAL proposes an innovative format that combines exhibition, networking, and training in an environment designed to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and personal connections among industry professionals.

A new concept: homogeneity, openness and balance between exhibition and knowledge

Unlike traditional trade fairs, AVL SUMMIT by AFIAL 2026 adopts a homogeneous and open model, where all exhibition spaces share a common design that enhances accessibility and the visitor experience.

The stands are not divided by closed structures, but are instead defined only by one-metre-high barriers, creating an open and participatory atmosphere. Each space includes a customised longitudinal rear panel, allowing participating brands to display their product imagery or corporate identity.

In addition, all spaces are marketed under a single “all-inclusive” rate, offering companies a practical, visually balanced, and highly competitive solution. This homogenisation of the format helps highlight the value of the content and the quality of the presentations, resulting in a more effective experience for both exhibitors and visitors.

More networking and training areas

In this second edition, AVL SUMMIT by AFIAL expands its networking areas, further reinforcing its role as a space for connection and opportunity creation. The event will also offer a programme of workshops and presentations, scheduled in morning and afternoon sessions, allowing attendees to delve into trends, solutions, and emerging technologies within the audiovisual sector. All of this will take place in the inspiring environment of La Nave in Madrid, a renowned space for innovation and technology—an ideal venue for combining personal connections and professional knowledge in a unique format.

AVL SUMMIT by AFIAL is a different concept. An open, balanced, and participatory space where innovation, training, and networking coexist equally. It is the natural evolution of the audiovisual meeting towards a closer, more dynamic, and more effective model, says Juan Jose Vila, president of AFIAL.
