INTED, the International Technology, Education and Development Conference, is an annual academic event organised under the IATED umbrella. Working at the crossroads of education, technology and development, it connects a global network of educators, researchers and technology specialists who study how digital tools and new methods transform teaching and learning at every level, from schools to universities and corporate training. INTED2027 is the 21st edition and takes place on 9, 10 and 11 March 2027 at the Hotel Meliá Valencia and Valencia Conference Centre in Valencia, Spain. The conference follows a hybrid model in which presenters can deliver their work either in person or virtually. The event has run for two decades, and the organisers cite a community of more than 700 participants. Accepted abstracts and papers are published in the IATED Digital Library, with each paper receiving a DOI. The programme combines keynote addresses, oral and poster presentations, collaborative workshops and an exhibition area, together with dedicated networking events. In-person attendees are also invited to a guided tour of Valencia on the final morning. For researchers in educational technology and pedagogy, INTED provides an established international platform to share findings and build cross-border collaborations.
INTED 2027 takes place March 9–11, 2027 in Valencia, Spain.
INTED 2027 is a hybrid event — you can attend on-site or join remotely.

Valencia in March is warm, bright and building toward Las Fallas, the fire festival that takes over the city in the middle of the month with enormous satirical sculptures and daily pyrotechnics. The conference coincides with that build-up, which transforms the atmosphere of the entire centre. The city is flat, cycle-friendly and organised around the diverted riverbed that now runs through it as a nine-kilometre park.
Valencia Airport (VLC) is close, roughly 20-25 minutes from the centre by Metro lines 3 and 5 or a similar time by taxi. High-speed AVE trains reach Madrid in under two hours, making rail a genuine alternative to flying from within Spain. In the city, the Metro, trams and an extensive bike-share network cover most distances, and the historic centre is walkable throughout.

Connectivity in Valencia's hotels and conference venues is reliable. During Fallas the centre becomes extremely crowded and mobile networks can slow considerably. An eSIM arranged before travel gives a fallback when venue Wi-Fi is saturated. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. Santiago Calatrava's white concrete complex in the former riverbed, holding a science museum, Europe's largest aquarium and an opera house. The architecture alone justifies the walk. Half a day if entering the aquarium; the exterior and reflecting pools are free to wander. Tickets on Tiqets →
Turia Gardens. The old river channel, rerouted after a catastrophic flood and converted into a continuous park crossing the whole city beneath its historic bridges. Renting a bicycle is the natural way to cover it. Two hours end to end, and it links the old town to the arts complex directly.
La Lonja de la Seda. A fifteenth-century silk exchange and UNESCO site whose main hall of spiralling stone columns is among the finest civil Gothic interiors in Europe. It sits opposite the central market. Forty-five minutes, and admission is free on Sundays. Tickets on Tiqets →
Mercat Central. One of Europe's largest working food markets under a Modernista iron and tile roof, with almost a thousand stalls of Valencian produce and seafood. Mornings only. An hour, and it is the right place to understand what goes into a paella before eating one.
What is Las Fallas and does it affect the conference dates?
It is Valencia's March fire festival, peaking mid-month. The build-up brings crowds, street closures and daily fireworks to the centre.
How far is the airport?
Valencia Airport (VLC) is 20-25 minutes from the centre by Metro lines 3 and 5 or by taxi.
What weather should I expect?
Warm Mediterranean early spring, often 18-20C by day, cooler in the evening, with plenty of sun.
