Rome AI & Tech Week
Rome's week of artificial intelligence, featuring Codemotion and Maker Faire Rome
About Rome AI & Tech Week
The week Rome becomes the capital of artificial intelligence
Rome AI & Tech Week is the major new event that, from March 28 to April 1, 2026, transforms the capital into Italy's hub for artificial intelligence, innovation, and digital culture. Promoted by Codemotion and Maker Faire Rome alongside the Rome Chamber of Commerce (via the PID - Digital Enterprise Point project), the event debuts in 2026, gathering over 3,000 attendees, 100+ national and international speakers, and 50 companies across various districts of Rome.
A four-stage journey
This week is more than just a conference; it is an itinerary that guides artificial intelligence from experimentation to governance:
- Hack Nation (March 28-29) - Two days of hackathons at the Gazometro Ostiense: 48 hours to turn ideas into functional prototypes, such as systems for contract analysis, fact-checking engines to combat misinformation, gamified urban experiences, and sustainability solutions.
- Tech Lead Summit (March 30) - Held at ROAD (Rome Advanced District) in the Gazometro area, this session focuses on leadership and the governance of technological transformation for CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and managers.
- Conference Roma (March 31) - Hosted at the Palazzo dei Congressi in EUR, this is the week's most open and cross-disciplinary event, featuring over 50 talks by Italian and international speakers on AI adoption, security, software architecture, and production deployment.
- Builders Lab (April 1) - Located at Binario F, this day is dedicated to practical workshops for developers, data scientists, and product teams, offering immediately applicable skills.
Venues between Ostiense and EUR
The event spans some of the city's most iconic locations: the post-industrial Gazometro Ostiense, now the heart of the ROAD innovation district; the monumental Palazzo dei Congressi in the EUR district; and the spaces at Binario F. This geography highlights contemporary Rome, blending industrial archaeology with frontier technologies within the Metropolitan City of Rome, in the Lazio region.
Why attend
Rome AI & Tech Week was born with a clear ambition: to show what happens when artificial intelligence moves beyond debate to become work, skill, infrastructure, and product. For developers, students, businesses, and decision-makers, it is an opportunity to engage with global industry leaders and understand how AI is reshaping roles, skills, and job opportunities within the Roman and national economic landscape.
Rome AI & Tech Week — edition 2026
The inaugural edition of Rome AI & Tech Week gathered over 3,000 participants, 100+ national and international speakers, and 50 partner companies in Rome. Five days and four different formats guided artificial intelligence from hackathon prototyping to summit governance, including the major conference at the Palazzo dei Congressi and the operational workshops of the Builders Lab.
