After a decade of shaping the landscape for B2B SaaS, SaaStock is coming to an end. Founder Alexander Theuma announced that the final SaaStock event will take place in Austin on April 15-16, 2026. This marks a significant shift in the European tech conference scene.
Theuma’s decision follows a dramatic decline in the SaaS sector, with over $2 trillion in market capitalization lost in the first quarter of 2026. In light of the changing market dynamics, he is replacing SaaStock with a new initiative: Shift AI.
The inaugural Shift Europe conference is set for October 13-14, 2026, in Barcelona. This rebranding reflects a pivot towards the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence, aiming to address current industry trends and challenges.
This transition underscores a broader movement within the tech community, emphasizing the need for innovation amid market volatility. The outcome remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the conference landscape is evolving rapidly.
