Alcolea Party 2027
Alcolea Party 2026 has been a huge success. We reached full capacity, sent significant financial support to the ANDEX Childhood Cancer Association, shared knowledge across many different fields, and had a great time with tournaments and challenges. To top it all off, we were able to observe the sun, micrometeorites, and learn even more about the universe. But as we always say, the most important thing is the community we are building — and every single one of you is part of it. When the 2026 edition came to an end, it wasn’t just you who felt it was too short. That feeling also reached the organizing team, and we have already started preparing for the 2027 edition, where you will see even more technology, challenges, tournaments, and incredibly interesting talks that are already being planned! We will work very hard to exceed every expectation, so that you can enjoy, learn, and feel at home.
CTFs arrive at Alcolea Party 2026
During the first editions of Alcolea Party, we tackled our well-known Hacking Challenge, an activity designed to learn, investigate, and have fun solving computer security challenges with independent problems, where whoever solved the problems was declared the winner. In 2026, we evolved this format and will be lucky enough to have several CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges with different levels of difficulty, designed both for those who want to get started and for those who already have experience in cybersecurity, courtesy of BEE HACKERS. Participants will be able to tackle different challenges related to areas commonly found in CTF competitions, such as cryptography, forensic analysis, vulnerability exploitation, reverse engineering, and web security. Each challenge will pose a problem that must be solved by researching, analyzing information, or using security tools. But don't worry if you've never participated in anything like this before. This year we're also organizing an introductory workshop designed to teach you from scratch. Introductory Workshop to CTFs (Capture The Flag) In this introductory workshop you'll learn what a CTF is, how these competitions work, and what types of challenges exist in the world of cybersecurity. Throughout the session, we will carry out guided practical exercises, where participants will solve their first CTF challenges using basic analysis tools and research techniques. No previous experience in hacking or technical competitions is necessary: just curiosity and a desire to learn. Workshop content What a CTF is and how competitions work Most common types of challenges Basic tools used in CTF Guided resolution of practical challenges Platforms for further learning and practice What do you need? Just bring your laptop and a desire to tinker. If you've always been curious about the world of cybersecurity and ethical hacking, this is the perfect opportunity to get started and participate in the challenges we have prepared for Alcolea Party 2026.
Alcolea Party collaborates with ANDEX: all proceeds from ticket sales will go to a very important cause.
We are delighted to share with you one of the big news items about Alcolea Party 2026: all the money raised from ticket sales will go entirely to support the Andalusian Association of Parents of Children with Cancer, ANDEX. At Alcolea Party, we have always wanted our event to be not only a technological, educational, and creative meeting point, but also an initiative where we help associations that need real support. The response we have received from the community so far shows us that this vision is shared, and we are proud to be able to collaborate with organizations that work every day to make life a little better for those who need it most. Who are ANDEX? ANDEX is a non-profit association founded in 1985 that supports children with cancer and their families from the moment of diagnosis and throughout the entire process of the disease. Its work goes beyond medical care, offering psychological support, social and employment guidance, financial assistance to cover treatment-related needs, leisure activities for children, volunteer programs, and direct support in hospitals such as Virgen del Rocío in Seville. Comprehensive care and emotional support are fundamental aspects of their work, providing an environment of support and hope for families facing one of the most difficult moments of their lives. ANDEX's involvement in improving the quality of life of children affected by cancer and its continuous efforts to raise awareness in society make this organization an entity with a profound and lasting impact. Why do we do it? At Alcolea Party, we believe in the power of community to bring about positive change. We are thrilled to have your support so that each ticket represents a real and direct contribution to this cause, because together we can help ANDEX continue its essential work of accompanying and supporting so many families. We know that technology brings people together, but it can also be used to promote solidarity and support where it is most needed, and that is one of our guiding principles. Thank you all for your collaboration!
Alcolea Party 2026 is beginning to take shape… and it’s packed with new features.
Alcolea Party 2026 is already underway, and we couldn't be more excited. The tremendous support we are receiving from the community, speakers, sponsors, and collaborators confirms that this event continues to grow year after year and that the next edition will undoubtedly be the most ambitious to date. One of the fundamental pillars of this edition will, of course, be the conference area, which comes with a powerful, up-to-date program designed for all technological profiles. In 2026, we are strongly committed to practical knowledge, the trends that are already shaping the present, and the technologies that will define the future. Among the topics we will be able to enjoy, we highlight cybersecurity talks focused on Office 365 environments, an increasingly critical issue for companies and professionals. We will also explore how Artificial Intelligence can help you in the world of marketing, from process optimization to the actual monetization of projects, with practical cases that can be applied from day one. Video game design and development will have its own space, showing how interactive experiences are created from within, while AI applied to cybersecurity will be presented by the creators of SecAdmin, who will share their vision and advances in a key field for digital protection. With technological resilience in mind, we will also address Meshtastic networks, a real alternative for maintaining active communications in the event of a new digital blackout or emergency situations, an issue that is more relevant than ever. And as the main event, we will hear about the latest advances in the world of Artificial Intelligence from Chema Alonso, as well as fascinating talks on topics such as the application of AI in astronomy, demonstrating that technology not only transforms industries, but also our understanding of the universe. This is just a preview. There is still much to discover, and in the coming weeks we will be revealing more speakers, content, and surprises that will make Alcolea Party 2026 an unforgettable edition.
Alcolea Party 2026
Yes, after an exciting journey, Alcolea Party 2025 allowed us to bring together a great team once again and build an event with activities, workshops, gaming, and training focused on cybersecurity, robotics, artificial intelligence... all of the most interesting and current topics, bringing cutting-edge technology to the rural world with the support of large companies such as INERCO, Unitree, PCBWay, Watchguard, Frogames... And, of course, the help of our institutional sponsor, the Alcolea del Río City Council. We were so pleased with the outcome and so encouraged that we have already begun preparations for Alcolea Party 2026, where there will be more and better, and where capacity will increase with the new layout of the different areas, filled with activities that are sure to surprise you, we are certain! More information will be available soon on our social media channels.

Scheduled workshops
In Alcolea Party we always had conferences, and as all of you who were in our land know, very hackers! In this edition of Alcolea Party we not only have conferences, we also premiered our workshop space where we will have three workshops confirmed in 2025. The first one by Francisco Jesús Martinez Durán, who will talk about how to control real world devices from a Smartphone; the second one, taught by myself, Unreal Engine from zero to professional, where I will teach you basic notions to get into the world of video game creation with this powerful tool, and finally, a very curious workshop on introduction to amateur radio / meshtastic: secure text messaging via LoRa P2P radio without internet. We hope you enjoy and learn a lot!
Astromares, a journey through the universe in AP25
In Alcolea Party 2025 we will have the Astromares Association; initially a group of people with a common denominator, the passion for astronomy and the universe, and which today is composed of more than 2000 members, where the main objective is the dissemination; very aligned with the principles of Alcolea Party. We will hold a workshop for all audiences on the night of March 22 where we will be lucky enough to observe the sky with professional equipment and guided by Astromares experts. Don't miss it!
Chema Alonso with us at AP25
Yes, Alcolea Party 2025 will count with the presence of Chema Alonso, a good hacker, and when we say good we do not only refer to the technical quality, but to the human. Chema has collaborated with Alcolea Party since its origins, bringing cybersecurity and technology in a very pleasant and friendly way to the public. We are very happy to have him among us, and, above all, that you can meet him and learn with him.
A solidarity objective
Although you may have already seen it in our official poster, Alcolea Party 2025 will have, as it could not be otherwise, a solidary character. All proceeds raised through ticket sales will go entirely to support the work of the El Gancho Infantil Foundation. Thanks to all the volunteers, those who have registered and those of you who will do so in the future, as your contribution will go directly to them. This has slowed down the registration process a bit, but we are convinced that it is worth it. Once again, thank you all!
