HPE Discover Barcelona 2026

HPE Discover Barcelona 2026 runs 2-3 December 2026 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via and is Hewlett Packard Enterprise's largest event in EMEA, drawing customers, partners and HPE engineering into one venue for two days of keynotes, breakouts, demos and private briefings. The programme is organised around networking, hybrid cloud and AI, and the through-line since the Juniper Networks acquisition closed has been the merged networking business: at the December 2025 edition CEO Antonio Neri and HPE Networking president Rami Rahim used the opening keynote to present HPE and Juniper as a single organisation, announcing the first Aruba Central and Juniper Mist integrations, agentic-mesh capability for Mist, Wi-Fi 7 access points that work with either platform, Tomahawk 6-based data-centre switching for AI fabrics, and expanded NVIDIA and AMD partnerships. Expect the 2026 edition to be measured against how much of that integration actually shipped.

If HPE, Aruba or Juniper is anywhere in your estate, this is the two days where you find out what the merged roadmap actually is and get it from the people who own it, rather than from an account team six months later. The value is concentrated in the private briefing programme: bring your renewal timeline, your AI fabric plans and your unresolved Aruba-versus-Mist migration questions, and use the meeting centre to get commitments on record. The keynotes are streamed and replayed afterwards, so budget your time for the briefings and the expo floor engineers instead.

• ✓Opening keynote from HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri
• ✓HPE Networking keynote — Rami Rahim, President/EVP/GM, led the networking keynote at the 2025 edition
• ✓Hundreds of breakout sessions across networking, cloud and AI
• ✓Expo hall / showcase with live demos and guided tours
• ✓Private strategic briefings, peer meetings and networking lounges in a dedicated meeting centre
• ✓Welcome Reception and the HPE Fiesta evening event
• ✓Meals, refreshments and coffee breaks included in the pass
• ✓Post-event on-demand replay of technical sessions and keynotes via HPE's event library

• ★HPE's largest EMEA event — the European equivalent of Discover Las Vegas, with the same keynote-level announcements but a European customer and partner base
• ★The primary venue for the combined HPE + Juniper networking story; the 2025 Barcelona edition was where the two companies first appeared on stage as one organisation
• ★Vendor-run and single-vendor by design: you get HPE's own engineers and product owners in briefing rooms, not a neutral analyst view
• ★Private strategic briefings and a dedicated meeting centre are part of the pass, so the event doubles as a compressed vendor-management cycle
• ★Technical session recordings are published to HPE's on-demand library afterwards, so the sessions are not the reason to travel — the briefings are
