Dell Technologies Forum 2026 is coming to The Convention Centre Dublin, Dublin 1 on September 15th 2026. The event will convene business and technology leaders to discuss how organisations can scale AI, modernise infrastructure and build more resilient digital environments.
Attendees will hear from Dell Technologies executives and specialists, experience live demonstrations and connect with peers. The Forum will examine how modern infrastructure, intelligent devices, data-ready architecture and AI expertise can support the next phase of business growth.
Why It Matters
For many organisations in Ireland, AI is no longer an experimental priority. It is becoming a major driver of enterprise technology strategy. IDC forecasts that AI spending in EMEA will reach $319 billion in 2026, growing 19.2% year over year and more than three times faster than total IT spending, underscoring how quickly AI is reshaping budgets, infrastructure decisions and business priorities across the region. These conversations are especially relevant as organisations across various industries look to modernise operations, improve productivity, strengthen resilience and support more demanding digital and AI-driven workloads.
This makes Dell Technologies Forum Dublin timely for local business and technology audiences. The event is designed to help organisations address the infrastructure, workplace and security decisions that will determine whether AI and digital transformation can scale effectively in real-world business environments.
Captain of Shamrock Rovers and Cape Verde football international, Pico Lopes, who recently reached the knockout stages of the World Cup is among the speakers who will take to the stage to share his insights on achieving peak performance on and off the pitch.
Several themes are expected to shape discussions at the Forum:
- Scaling AI in the real world: What organisations need to put in place so AI can operate securely, responsibly and effectively across the business.
- Infrastructure without complexity: Why organisations need faster, more resilient and easier-to-manage technology foundations that can support AI, analytics and data-intensive workloads while keeping modernisation tied to business outcomes.
- Sovereign AI and trusted data: How organisations can pursue AI strategies that support greater control over data, infrastructure, governance and compliance, especially in Ireland where sovereignty, privacy and regulatory requirements are shaping technology decisions.
- AI-ready workplaces and intelligent devices: How modern endpoints, AI PCs and intelligent devices can improve productivity, collaboration, security and employee experience.
- Cyber resilience by design: Why data protection, recovery, security and governance need to be embedded across infrastructure, devices and AI environments from the start.
Colin Boyd, Data Centre Solutions Sales Director at Dell Technologies said, “AI adoption has entered a new phase. For organisations in Ireland, the priority is no longer exploring what AI could make possible, but making sure the infrastructure, data, devices, security and governance foundations are ready to support it at scale. As conversations around sovereign AI, cyber resilience and trusted data become more important across Europe, Dell Technologies Forum Dublin will help customers focus on the decisions that matter – how to modernise with confidence, reduce complexity and build technology environments that can support long-term business value.”
