Free Ateneo talk on emotional vs artificial intelligence, Salamanca

Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca

On Wednesday 28 October 2026 at 19:00 the Ateneo de Salamanca, a cultural society, holds one of its autumn lectures at the public library in the Casa de las Conchas on Calle Compañía. The speaker is Ricardo Montilla, head of content at the radio network SER, and his subject is emotional intelligence set against artificial intelligence in the media. The talk is introduced by Toño Blázquez, a board member of the society. The listing places it in a programme of public lectures that runs from September into late November, covering topics from music in the cathedral to Celtic mythology. Admission is listed as free. A public lecture hosted in one of the city's best-known buildings is a straightforward event to attend alone, with no group to join and no preparation needed beforehand. «El Ateneo de Salamanca en la Casa de las Conchas» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:15.

How to use the library as a newcomer

  1. Get a card — it is usually free. Bring photo ID and a proof of address (rental contract, utility bill). Rules differ per library, so check the branch page first.
  2. Events rarely need a card. Talks, book clubs and language cafés are open to everyone; just walk in a few minutes early.
  3. Use it as your base. Free wifi, a quiet desk, notice boards with local groups, and often newspapers and courses in several languages.
  4. Go back to the same program. The second visit is when people remember your name.
