Night at the Royal Palace: Connecting Global Leaders Through Heritage, Innovation and Connection

Madrid set the stage on September 16, 2025, as we hosted “Night at the Royal Palace,” bringing business, culture, and shared purpose into the same room. An exclusive gathering, where we welcomed partners, colleagues and friends from across the world to celebrate collaboration, creativity, and the value of cultural exchange.

The evening brought together more than 250 guests from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It was a chance to share conversations, strengthen ties, and explore new ideas for the future of the global telecommunications and technology community.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us at the event, and to all who share their journey with us. Together we move forward, building, learning, and growing–strengthening the ties that connect our global community.

Among History and Heritage

The evening opened with private guided tours of the Royal Palace’s most iconic halls. Led by expert historians, our guests experienced centuries of craftsmanship and artistry reminders that progress has always been driven by human ingenuity.

A Toast to Collaboration

Following the tour, attendees gathered on the patio of the Royal Collections Galleries, overlooking the Almudena Cathedral, for a bespoke cocktail reception. In an intimate setting, the evening created space for open conversations and meaningful exchanges, a chance to connect beyond business in a unique cultural backdrop.

Reflecting on the evening, Ricardo Olloqui, President and Co-founder of BTS, noted:

“We are proud to welcome so many partners and industry peers from around the world. Hosting this event at the Royal Palace allowed us to share a part of our history and culture with our international community, while reinforcing the bonds that drive our industry forward.”

 Culture as a Catalyst

Our industry thrives on cultural exchange. Choosing the Royal Palace as a setting was a way to recognize that, blending history, art and tradition with new conversations and future opportunities. What makes this industry remarkable is not only the business we build, but the cultures and connections that shape it.
