Semana de la Educación 2027 – Madrid, Spain

What to expect

Semana de la Educación 2027 is a major education and training event organised at IFEMA MADRID, bringing together students, families, teachers, universities, vocational training centres, schools, public institutions, education companies and technology providers. It provides a broad overview of educational opportunities, allowing visitors to compare study pathways, discover training programmes, receive guidance and connect directly with institutions.

The event brings several complementary education-focused shows together under one umbrella, including AULA, Postgrado y Formación Continua, Schools Day and DIGIeLEARNING. Together, these areas cover university education, vocational training, postgraduate studies, continuing education, schools, camps, extracurricular activities and digital learning.

One of the central purposes of the event is academic and professional guidance. Students can investigate different study options, compare institutions and speak directly with education providers about their programmes, admission requirements and future career possibilities.

Higher education

Universities and specialist higher-education institutions provide information about degree programmes and other academic opportunities. The event is useful for students who are still deciding between different disciplines or institutions.

Vocational education

Vocational training is another important part of the education ecosystem represented at the fair. Visitors can discover practical training routes connected with employment, technical professions and changing labour-market requirements.

Schools and family education

Schools Day is designed particularly for families looking at schools, camps and extracurricular activities. It provides an opportunity to compare different educational proposals in one location.

Digital education

DIGIeLEARNING gives the event a technology-focused dimension, covering e-learning, educational platforms, artificial intelligence, digital methodologies and other technologies changing how people learn and train.

Venue & exhibition site

Semana de la Educación takes place at IFEMA MADRID, one of Spain’s principal exhibition and convention venues. The complex is located at Avenida del Partenón 5 in Madrid’s Campo de las Naciones area and provides extensive exhibition halls, visitor facilities, restaurants, parking and transport connections.

For the upcoming edition, IFEMA has confirmed Hall 8 and Hall 10 as the exhibition areas. Visitors should use the official event map when it becomes available because pavilion arrangements can change between editions.

IFEMA MADRID is particularly suitable for an education exhibition because the venue can accommodate multiple education sectors at the same time. Universities, schools, training organisations, technology providers and other institutions can operate dedicated stands while visitors move between different areas.

The location is also convenient for international visitors because it is relatively close to Madrid-Barajas Airport and has direct public-transport connections with other parts of Madrid.

Full event programme

The detailed programme for Semana de la Educación 2027 has not yet been released. The official IFEMA activities page currently states that the programme will be available soon, so specific workshops, talks, presentations, speakers and session times should be treated as pending until the organiser publishes the final programme.

The established structure of Semana de la Educación brings together several major components.

AULA

AULA focuses on academic orientation and educational opportunities, particularly for students considering university, vocational training, international education, languages and other study pathways.

Postgrado y Formación Continua

This section addresses postgraduate studies, specialisation and continuing education for graduates and working professionals who want to develop new skills or improve their employability.

Schools Day

Schools Day is aimed at families and covers schools, camps and extracurricular activities, helping parents compare different educational options.

DIGIeLEARNING

DIGIeLEARNING focuses on digital learning and educational technology. Its content has included e-learning solutions, artificial intelligence applied to learning, training platforms and digital methodologies.

The previous programme also included AULA Forum, Speaker’s Corner, a main stage and a dedicated digital-learning campus, with workshops, demonstrations, orientation activities and specialist talks.

Key speakers & keynote speakers

A confirmed 2027 keynote-speaker list has not yet been published by IFEMA. The official activities page currently indicates that the programme is forthcoming, so individual speakers should only be considered confirmed once they appear in the organiser’s official programme.

Previous editions have included education professionals, institutional representatives, technology specialists, training experts and representatives from universities and other educational organisations.

Previous programming has used several dedicated activity spaces, including AULA Forum, Speaker’s Corner, the main Stage and the DIGIeLEARNING Campus. These spaces have hosted workshops, talks, practical activities, orientation sessions and technology demonstrations.

Visitors should review the final online schedule before attending and identify priority sessions in advance. This is particularly useful for students and families who want to combine institutional visits with workshops or guidance activities.

Ticket types & registration

Semana de la Educación is designed for both members of the general public and education professionals. IFEMA’s general visitor guidance explains that public events use ticketing systems, while professional visitors use the appropriate professional registration process.

General visitor access

Students, parents and other members of the public can attend according to the access conditions published for the event.

Professional accreditation

Teachers, education professionals and other eligible industry visitors can use IFEMA’s professional registration system where applicable. Professional registration requires an individual IFEMA account.

School groups

The event is also designed to accommodate organised educational groups. Previous editions attracted a substantial number of school groups, demonstrating the importance of group visits to the event.

Previous pricing

The 2027 ticket price has not yet been published on the official event website. Previous public information reported general admission at approximately $8 when purchased online and approximately $10 at the venue, but these historical figures should not be treated as confirmed 2027 prices.

Visitors should check the official IFEMA ticketing page before purchasing because admission conditions and prices can change between editions.

Registration deadlines

No final registration deadline for visitors has been published for the upcoming edition.

Visitors should complete their registration or ticket purchase through the official Semana de la Educación website once the relevant system is available. Professional visitors should create or use their own IFEMA account when professional accreditation is required.

Professional registration

Professional accreditation is individual and should be completed using the visitor’s own details.

Exhibitor deadlines

Exhibitors have separate deadlines for participation, stand services, technical requirements and documentation. These deadlines are different from visitor registration deadlines and should be obtained directly from IFEMA’s exhibitor documentation.

School groups

Schools and organised groups should arrange their visit early enough to coordinate students, teachers, transport and the desired programme activities.

Exhibitor list & major companies

The complete exhibitor list for the upcoming edition has not yet been published. IFEMA provides an exhibitor catalogue and LiveConnect platform through which visitors can search participating organisations once the information becomes available.

The exhibition represents a broad range of educational organisations.

The final map should be particularly useful for students who want to visit several universities or training providers and for families comparing schools.

Visitors should avoid relying on older maps because Semana de la Educación has used different pavilion configurations in previous editions. For example, a previous edition occupied different halls from those currently confirmed for the upcoming event.
