Telefónica Fest: 20 and 21 June 2024
Telefónica’s Innovation and Talent Hub joins the company’s centenary celebrations with Telefónica Fest, two days of activities combining technology, training and entertainment.
With the transformative potential of technology and the importance of training to achieve a sustainable digital society model in which we can all participate, on 20 and 21 June the doors of Distrito Telefónica will be open to enjoy technology, learn about new digital trends, learn and have fun.
This technology festival will feature numerous activities and experiences dedicated to people over the age of 16, with the collaboration of some of Telefónica’s technology partners.
Telefónica Fest activities
Find out about the activities included in this festival held at Telefónica’s corporate headquarters.
Music and entertainment
As there is no festival without music, Movistar Música will provide the soundtrack with live performances by emerging artists such as Kyotto, Lennis Rodríguez, Yogures de coco, Andreew, Linze and Mr.Cobol.
If you like role-playing games, you can take part in ‘Telefónica and Darkwave: an adventure through time’ and overcome the different challenges by going through the most important milestones of Telefónica’s 100 years with Telefónica OI Campus.
Gaming
Live a day of the best League of Legends league with Movistar KOI and meet its players is another experience offered by Telefónica Fest.
You can also have fun with the PlayStation Experience or with OWO Skin, the experience of the internet of the senses through its haptic system, as well as see that technology has no limits and take part in a Unified eSports competition organised by Fundación Telefónica and PlayStation.
Sport
Sport and technology come together at Movistar Plus+ with a sports storytelling workshop. You will also be able to see how Artificial Intelligence can change sports broadcasts or, with the magic of technology, stand on a set and become one of the star presenters of this television platform.
You can also learn how data analytics helps to improve the performance of the Movistar Team cyclists or take part in a virtual competition in this sport.
