AI and business transformation were at the top of the agenda when Volaris Group hosted the world’s largest gathering of vertical market software leaders in Copenhagen from April 26 to 30, 2026
“I had heard about it. I had watched the videos. I thought I knew what to expect,” recalls Pedro Fernandes, CEO and Chairman of Bullet Solutions, about his assumptions before his first experience attending Quadrants.
But he was blown away by his first impressions upon arriving at the employee-only conference for the best minds in vertical market software.
“Walking into Quadrants for the first time is like stepping into a different universe,” he said about the opportunity to meet hundreds of software leaders from across industries and from different parts of the world. After meeting many colleagues united by common goals, drive, and a sense of purpose, he exclaimed, “The scale is staggering.”
In 2026, it’s not business as usual in the software industry. AI is stoking fears about what comes next, and SaaS valuations have been depressed as a result. Some industry watchers have even labeled the current moment a “SaaSpocalypse,” worried that AI agents and “vibe-coded” software will erode per-seat revenue models — or that customers will simply build their own tools in-house.
At times like this, software businesses need the support of a powerhouse like Volaris Group behind them. To drive our businesses forward, we believe the best way to ensure our companies survive and thrive in the age of AI is to invest back in our businesses and the leaders who will move us into the future. Quadrants is our biggest example of how we do that.
