The Kairos EU Summit is co-organized by the Gaudi World Congress, which is named after the creator of Barcelona’s iconic Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi.
One hundred years ago the creator of Sagrada Familia developed a multidisciplinary and original mindset that helped him to design his masterpieces.
His creative school of thought was ahead of its time, and now after almost a century, his legacy has inspired the Gaudi World Congress.
On October 19, the 3rd Gaudi World Congress in Barcelona will be joining the past and the present in order to be ready to create a better future.
Originality is going back to the origins, and this is why during the whole day organizers have created a forum for inspiring speeches, meaningful conversations, and long-lasting encounters where we will be able to re-discover already existing and learn to see what nobody has seen before.
