Europe’s flagship Physical AI gathering just locked in a major upgrade. MACHINA Summit moves to the Palais des Congrès de Paris for its 2027 edition, expanding to two full days after a debut that filled Station F to capacity.
The event, slated for July 7-8, 2027, targets the builders, investors, and deployers working at the intersection of robotics, humanoid machines, and embodied intelligence. Organizers expect attendance to surpass 3,500 people. The speaker roster will reach 200, and the exhibition footprint grows tenfold compared to the 2026 launch.
Confirmed speakers already signal serious technical depth. Albert Pescheck from Bosch Digital Twin Industries, Matthieu Masselin of Wandercraft, and Evan Beard representing Standard Bots headline the initial lineup. Jonathan Hurst of Agility Robotics and Abhinav Gupta from Skild AI round out the first wave. Each brings direct experience shipping physical AI systems into real-world environments.
Meanwhile, the summit has spawned a broader week of programming across Paris. MACHINA Week will feature the MACHINA Gala at the Château de Versailles, a CxO Summit for executive decision-makers, and MACHINA Factory, a dedicated showcase space. Curated gatherings will run throughout the city during the same period.
The expansion reflects accelerating investment and commercial interest across robotics and embodied AI. As humanoid platforms move from research labs toward industrial deployments, event organizers are betting that European buyers and builders need a central venue to close deals and forge partnerships. The move from a startup campus to a major congress center signals that ambition plainly.
