About

Building Spain's most welcoming tech community.

Alicante Tech Vibes is an independent, volunteer-run meetup connecting entrepreneurs, founders, developers and digital nomads who are choosing the Costa Blanca to build their next thing. Founded 2026 in Alicante city.

The story

From a WhatsApp group to a movement.

It started in early 2026 in Alicante city with three entrepreneurs relocating to the Costa Blanca and a WhatsApp group to find each other. Within months there were over a hundred people in it — founders, engineers, designers, nomads, builders. After enough hallway intros and improvised coffees, the demand for one room and one night was obvious.

We hosted our first event in March 2026 — an informal gathering of the WhatsApp regulars that confirmed the appetite for something bigger. In June 2026 we're hosting the first official edition at Sausalito Premium Club. Independent. Free. Run by entrepreneurs who'd rather build here than anywhere else.

Principles

What we stand for.

01

Free, always.

No tickets, no tiers. Sponsored by venues and partners — never by attendees.

02

Builders first.

Demos beat decks. Code beats slideware. We optimize for the person making things.

03

Quality over scale.

80 right people in a room beats 800 randoms. We RSVP-cap on purpose.

04

English-friendly.

Demos in English so internationals can follow. Networking in whatever you share.

05

No recruiters.

If you're not building something or hiring for your own team, this isn't your event.

06

Generous defaults.

Everyone makes intros. Everyone pays it forward. New arrivals get the warmest welcome.

Organizers

Run by the community, for the community.

A rotating crew of volunteers, none full-time. We organize because we want this in our city.
