LOCATION & DATE

VCF Latam will take place in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, from April 24 to 26, 2026.

The venue is the Dow Center, a modern facility in the city with large halls, top-notch infrastructure, and services designed for major events. Originally conceived as a high-performance sports center, the Dow Center combines technology, comfort, and accessibility—making it the perfect setting for this unique regional event.

In addition, during the festival the Espacio TEC Museum—the largest interactive computer museum in Latin America, located at Thompson 665, Bahía Blanca—will also be open. Transportation will be available between the Dow Center and the museum, so that all visitors can comfortably enjoy both experiences.
