Monthly highlights
June 2026 highlights
Tourism, architecture, employment and the future of the Mediterranean: six of the Barcelona events where Live took part in June.
From June, we highlight six events, all of them in Barcelona: congresses, forums, a convention and a ceremony. At five of them, the audience followed what was said on their own phones with Speech; at the other, subtitles appeared on the big screen with Captions. Here they are, in date order.
Forum TurisTIC 2026
On 8 June, Eurecat held the 14th edition of Forum TurisTIC at the Auditori TBS Education, this year with its eye on cultural tourism. With Speech, each attendee opened the sessions with a QR code, picked a language and decided whether to listen or to read.
The .cat domain’s anniversary
On 12 June, Accent Obert gathered the people behind .cat, the domain born for a language and a culture, at the COAC, together with voices from the international domain industry. The day looked back at its origins, its figures and its influence beyond Catalonia, and Speech made it possible to follow in other languages.
III Foro Económico y Social del Mediterráneo
The forum run by Prensa Ibérica and the “la Caixa” Foundation reached CosmoCaixa on 17 and 18 June, after editions in Valencia and Málaga. Housing, tourism and digital transformation shaped the debates, which attendees had on their phones with Speech.
Barcelona Activa’s guidance congress
On 18 June, the Disseny Hub hosted the second edition of Barcelona Activa’s guidance congress, focused on getting ahead of changes in work. Here the tool was Captions: the text of every talk appeared on the auditorium screen.
Mediterranean Sustainable Tourism Convention 2026
The Diputació de Barcelona organised the third edition of this convention on the transition of Mediterranean tourism at the CCCB on 18 and 19 June. With participants from across the Mediterranean and other European countries, Speech brought every session into each person’s language.
The UIA Gold Medal
On the night of 30 June, at the Sagrada Família, the International Union of Architects presented its Gold Medal to Eduardo Souto de Moura. Guests followed the ceremony with Speech, in their own language and from their own phones.
Six very different events and one shared idea: nobody should be left out because of language. If you’d like to take a closer look, each one has its full story in Impact.
