TL;DR There is no IT conference scene in Dénia proper. The town’s tech footprint is a monthly WordPress meetup (631 members, 61 events held [1][2]) and a freshly-launched annual student hackathon [3]. For conferences, look 90 km up the coast: Valencia hosts the Valencia Digital Summit (12,000+ attendees) and PGConf.EU on the same October 20-23 window — both a day-trip or overnight from Dénia.

I Hackathon Intercentros Marina Alta (inaugural, April 2026)
Dénia hosted its first inter-school tech competition on 21 April 2026 at IES Maria Ibars. [3][4][5]
- Format: 36 vocational-training (FP) students from three schools — IES Maria Ibars (Dénia), IES La Mar (Xàbia), CIPFP Dénia — split into cross-school teams.
- Challenges set by: Helados Palacio, Hotel Daniya, BMW Benigar, Baleària (ferry company posed the final-round challenge). [4]
- Winning team: students from all three schools, recognised for creativity and problem-solving; prize: Baleària boat trip. [16]
- Next edition: organizers are “already preparing future convocations with new centers” — expected to repeat annually in spring. [5]
This is an educational hackathon, not a professional conference. Visiting techies can’t participate, but it signals a growing local tech-education culture.
In Dénia: Community Infrastructure
Three coworking spaces provide the backbone for Dénia’s distributed tech community:
| Space | Address | Notable for |
|---|---|---|
| Knowhere Dénia [9] | C/ Ramón y Cajal 30 (near castle) | WordPress meetup host; Makerspace with 3D printing, Arduino, robotics courses |
| Micelium [10] | City centre | Telegram community of devs, SEO/SEM, creatives; training room (15 pax) |
| CO-CO Coliving [11] | Between mountain and sea, Dénia | Coliving + coworking launched late 2023; workations, retreats, digital nomads |
CoworkZINQ is a fourth option focused on minimalist shared desks with 1 Gb fibre. None of the spaces publish a public tech-event calendar, but Knowhere’s Makerspace runs ad-hoc courses and robotics workshops worth enquiring about directly.
Day-Trip Range: Valencia (90 km, ~1 h by car)
The nearest major tech conference city. Two events coincide on 20–23 October 2026, making a combined Valencia trip particularly efficient:

WordCamp Valencia (annual, next edition TBD)
WordCamp Valencia 2025 (Nov 8-9) drew 300+ attendees under the “WordPress Tech Congress” banner, covering AI, SEO, e-commerce, and web dev. [13] Three Valencia organizers now lead WordCamp Europe 2026 (Kraków, 4-6 June). No 2026 Valencia date is announced yet; the event has run annually since 2021.
SeleniumConf & AppiumConf Valencia 2026
Already concluded (May 6-8, 2026) at Veles e Vents. [12] Filed here as context for the regional conference density — Valencia is an active host city.
Day-Trip Range: Alicante (80 km, ~1 h by car)
Alicante Tech Meetup
The most active ongoing tech community within reach. [8]
- 3,331 members, 4.7 ★ (344 reviews), 303 past events since 2013
- Regular formats: After Work Drinks (AWD, monthly), AI Co-Lab (AI coworking sessions), Friday Network Brunch (12 people, €5)
- Topics: AI, cloud, Linux, open source, web dev, DevOps, blockchain, 3D printing
→ The most practical option if you want a casual tech gathering without a conference ticket.
Alicante Nomad Summit 2026 — also in the pipeline for 2026, with hands-on sessions and skill-sharing for digital nomads and remote workers; dates not yet confirmed.
Timing
If your Dénia weekend is flexible, October is the richest window: VDS + PGConf.EU land on adjacent days in Valencia, making a single overnight extension cover both. For a standalone Dénia visit any other month, the WordPress meetup (3rd Thursday) is the only predictable local event to anchor on — worth emailing wpdenia.com ahead to confirm it is running that month.
