In this episode, Anna O’Connor and Omar Signori welcome Carlos Diaz, FIBEP Vice President for Technology and CEO of GlobalNews Group, to reflect on FIBEP Tech Day 2026 in the Canary Islands.

Carlos discusses how the event is becoming more technical, practical, and community-driven, and why connecting technology professionals across FIBEP can help the industry innovate faster. From real-world AI adoption and digital twins for public opinion to the future of communication measurement, the conversation explores where media intelligence technology is heading next. Plus, a first look at FIBEP Tech and Innovation Day 2027 in Prague.
