prodefis User Days
The Next Chapter
2023 was a real statement. Five days of genuine conversations, honest insights, plenty of laughter – and that special feeling that arises when customers, partners, and colleagues become a community. No glossy show. No staged performance. Just open, familiar and direct. That’s exactly why it was such a success. We’re building on that.
In 2026, we’re bringing User Days back – with new topics, fresh impulses, and even more room for what truly matters: exchange on equal footing, hands-on insights, and a strong network that supports. Look forward to real people, practical content, open discussions, and encounters that will stay with you.
A modern business hotel in the middle of the old and commercial centre of Málaga among pedestrian streets full of balconies with flowers, restaurants, with that Mediterranean light that inspired Picasso.
The Málaga Cathedral, La Malagueta beach, and Calle Larios are all just a 10-minute walk away. Gibralfaro Castle and the Alcazaba can be reached in around 12 minutes on foot. The El Hammam Arab Baths are only 5 minutes away, and the Carmen Thyssen Museum is a 7-minute walk from the property. Málaga Airport Pablo Ruiz Picasso is located just 8 km away, ensuring convenient arrival and departure.
