TLP Tenerife Kicks Off 20th Anniversary Celebration

TLP Tenerife, the Canary Islands' premier technology event, kicks off its 20th anniversary this Tuesday, July 14, at the island's Trade Fair Center. This year’s milestone celebration is organized into three main areas: TLP Innova for professional training and innovation, the LAN Party for non-stop connectivity, and Summer-Con, which focuses on digital culture, entertainment, and shopping.

The event spans six days and features 1,200 spots in the LAN area, where participants can set up their gear starting Tuesday. The schedule is packed with diverse activities, ranging from scientific talks and young adult literature to film dubbing and music.

This year’s guest list includes popular streamers like Luzu, aXoZer, Mayichi, and Noni, as well as author Rebeca Stones and the group La Botella de Kandor. Music fans can look forward to a performance by the South Korean band W24, while film enthusiasts can meet voice-over stars José and Luis Posada. The event also celebrates cosplay with appearances by international experts Kujalice and Hermione Cosplay, alongside educational sessions from physicist Rubén Sierra.

The organizers have also introduced several updates. In a move toward sustainability, they are replacing traditional energy drinks with smoothies made from local produce. Additionally, the venue will feature giant screens to broadcast the Spain vs. France World Cup match. While the outdoor screens are open to the public, indoor viewing is reserved for event attendees.

As TLP Tenerife celebrates two decades, it continues to serve as a vital hub for technology, pop culture, and the creative industry in Southern Europe. The event highlights how in-person gatherings in Spain have evolved since the pandemic, successfully blending community experiences with high-quality content.
