Machina Summit 2026

One day at STATION F, organized by Chain of Events

Machina Summit 2026 took place on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at STATION F in Paris. The organizer's ticketing page states the date, the venue and the organizing company, Chain of Events. The event was scheduled the day before RAISE Summit, which ran on 8 and 9 July at the Carrousel du Louvre. [1] [2]

It was the first edition. The June 2026 launch release presents it as a debut, and the organizer's later statements call it newly launched. The organizer describes it as a Physical AI event with four tracks: Humanoid, Industrial, Training and Integration. [2] [3] [4]

The agenda lists two stages, Master and Builder, with 44 sessions in total: 27 on the Master stage and 17 on the Builder stage, plus a lunch break. The format is talks, keynotes and panels on one floor, with on-floor robot showcases announced alongside. [5] [4]

On 20 July 2026, thirteen days after the event, Hyve Group announced that it had acquired RAISE Summit, MACHINA Summit and Signal Week. The release names Michael Amar, Charlie Meraud, Henri Delahaye and Hadrien de Cournon as the founders of the three events. Terms were not disclosed. [3] [6]

What independent reports saw on the floor

Two French outlets reported from the venue the next day. Maddyness counted about 2,200 visitors and 85 speakers, saw a Boston Dynamics quadruped and a Unitree robot on the floor, and reported that the French company UMA showed first images of its humanoid. L'Embarqué confirms the date and venue and covers the same UMA presentation. [7] [8]

An attendee report by Humanoid Guide adds a LimX Dynamics demonstration with its Oli, Luna and Tron machines, Google DeepMind demonstrations on ALOHA, Franka and Apollo platforms, and Agility's Digit shown on screen rather than on the floor. The same report says the summit ran across two days, which the organizer and both press reports contradict. Its robot list is used here; its duration is not. [9] [1]

The speaker roster on the organizer site includes Jim Fan of NVIDIA, Bernt Børnich of 1X, Marc Raibert of the RAI Institute, Carolina Parada of Google DeepMind, Jeff Cardenas of Apptronik, Jonathan Hurst of Agility Robotics, Péter Fankhauser of ANYbotics, Marc Theermann of Boston Dynamics and Rémi Cadène of UMA. The agenda confirms sessions for most of them, including a 1X session titled NEO Platform. The page is labelled 2027 but carries the 2026 roster and contains duplicate entries, so it is a session record, not a 2027 announcement. [10] [5]

Organizer figures and press counts are different numbers

The partner page says over 1,500 attendees and 100+ speakers. Those are undated marketing figures written to sell sponsorship, and Hyve's acquisition release gives no attendance for MACHINA at all. The 2,200 visitors and 85 speakers in Maddyness are a journalist's count on the day. Neither is an audited figure, and the organizer has not published a recap that settles it. [11] [3] [7]

Ticket prices also differ between organizer pages. The tickets page lists MACHINA PRO at 899 euros, VIP at 1,599 euros and a Builder pass for startups and developers at 599 euros, all excluding VAT, while the home page shows 1,099, 1,899 and 599 euros for the same categories. A pre-event organizer post quoted a one-day pass from 699 euros. A reader comparing the cost of a 2027 ticket should use the ticketing platform, not a cached page. [12] [4]

2027: July is announced, the day and venue are not settled

The organizer's main site announces July 2027 at the Palais des Congrès de Paris and gives no day. The ticketing platform instead states that MACHINA 2027 takes place on 6 July 2027 at STATION F, with a PRO ticket at 799 euros as a super early bird rate. RAISE 2027 is listed for 6 to 8 July 2027 at the Palais des Congrès. [4] [13] [14]

The RAISE ticket page describes the MACHINA pass as two-day access, while the MACHINA ticketing page lists a single date. Until the organizer publishes one day and one venue on both sites, the calendar entry on this publication keeps July 2027 with the days marked as not confirmed, and records the conflict in its note.
