Two-day executive and technical summit at Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin, 28-29 September 2026, on the infrastructure layer of enterprise AI: data centers, cloud architecture, inference stacks and AI operations, run by we.CONECT alongside three co-located summits.
A two-day executive and technical summit in Berlin on the infrastructure layer of enterprise AI: data centers, cloud architecture, inference stacks, data platforms and AI operations. It runs annually and is organised by we.CONECT Global Leaders GmbH, sold as one of four co-located summits sharing a venue and a single ticket. The event is also marketed under two other names on organiser and ticketing channels, "AI Infrastructure Summit Europe 2026" and "AI Infrastructure Summit DACH 2026", for the same dates, venue and organiser; this fiche treats them as one event. It is unrelated to the similarly named "AI Infra Summit" held in the United States.
28 to 29 September 2026, confirmed live: the organiser's own site was running a countdown to this date at time of verification. Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin, Friedrichstrasse 151, 10117 Berlin, in the central Mitte district. The event's ticketing platform lists the same hotel's underground car park entrance at Dorotheenstrasse 65, which is the hotel's second address, not a different venue.
we.CONECT Global Leaders GmbH, registered at Sonnenallee 221, 12059 Berlin, per its published terms and conditions. we.CONECT runs a portfolio of executive and technical summits across enterprise technology topics, several of them, including this one, sold as co-located clusters that share a venue and a single ticket across multiple thematically related events.
More than 500 AI and IT infrastructure specialists, an organiser figure repeated in the event's own description. The stated audience is IT architects, infrastructure leads, AI engineers, cloud engineers and CTOs responsible for AI platform and infrastructure decisions. Attendee-facing statistics published on the organiser's site also cite 650+ decision-makers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland and 265+ participating companies (unverifiable information): these figures appear in a summary block that is not clearly scoped to this summit alone and may describe the combined co-located cluster rather than this event by itself. Recently registered attendees named on the site include people from Oracle, Nokia, BMW, Eaton, Denodo Technologies and firstcolo Datacenters, consistent with a German enterprise IT and cloud vendor audience.
A partial roster published on the organiser's site (language: German), not confirmed as exhaustive:
The site links to a fuller "all speakers" page that this research pass did not enumerate in full; further names sit there without individual verification here. Employers beyond job titles were not published for most names in this list.
Not documented. No year-over-year change list against a prior Berlin edition was found in the sourced material. The organiser's site content proved unstable during verification, at points surfacing what appeared to be a separate, already-concluded "AI Infrastructure Europe Summit" page referencing a March 2026 Munich date and pointing to a 2027 edition; this could not be independently confirmed as the same series and is not used as a basis for any claim in this fiche (unverifiable information).
Eight spotlight topics published for 2026: AI infrastructure architecture (designing scalable, resilient infrastructure for training and inference across environments); data infrastructure modernisation (pipelines, storage systems and data fabrics); AI workload orchestration (containerisation and resource-aware scheduling across hybrid infrastructure); high-performance compute systems (GPU, TPU and FPGA provisioning); networking and data transfer optimisation; AI development and MLOps platforms (reproducible model development, experiment tracking, versioning, continuous deployment); security and compliance for AI infrastructure; and hybrid and multi-cloud deployment. The database's own tag set for this event names the same ground under slightly different labels: multi-cloud, storage architecture, observability, security, edge AI and inference optimization.
Conference-format sessions over 2.5 days per the organiser's own description of the event length, run as a co-located cluster with three other summits at the same venue. Formats named on the organiser's site include keynotes, workshops and panels, plus one-on-one meeting slots described as "targeted" in the organiser's own attendee statistics. No detailed session-by-session agenda (talk lengths, track names, room allocation) was captured in this pass; a downloadable agenda is offered on the official site but was not opened.
The summit is co-located with Enterprise AI Europe 2026 (also styled Enterprise AI Summit 2026), Big Data Minds Europe 2026 and Business Intelligence Minds Europe 2026 (also styled Business Intelligence Summit 2026), all three at the same venue and dates. A single ticket covers all four. No separate evening networking event, awards ceremony or satellite meetup programme was found publicly documented for this edition.
Two published tiers, both excluding Germany's 19 percent VAT, corroborated independently on the organiser's own site and on its Tito ticketing page. All Access Pass (onsite, covering all four co-located summits): EUR 2,549. A second pass priced at EUR 895: labelled "Digital Event Pass" on the organiser's own site and "Pre-Event Workshop" on its Tito checkout page for the same price, a labelling inconsistency between the organiser's two own channels that this fiche cannot resolve (unverifiable information); assume it is the remote or digital-only ticket unless confirmed otherwise at checkout. Invoices are due 14 days after issue, or immediately on receipt if issued within 14 days of the event, per the organiser's published terms.
No open call for papers is recorded for this edition (the database's own pipeline flags cfp_open as closed), yet the organiser's site carries a standing "apply as speaker" link alongside the published roster. Read together, this points to a curated, invitation-and-application process rather than an open submission window with a public deadline. No selection criteria or submission form details were captured in this pass beyond the existence of that link.
No published rate card. The partner page offers a downloadable sponsorship prospectus and partner brochure rather than listed prices, and states the summit is positioned as a decision-maker-level networking platform for partners. Two partner tiers are visible from the published roster: "Competence Partner" and "Business Partner". General contact on record: booking@we-conect.com.
Competence Partners published on the organiser's site: Denodo, fme AG, Oracle, Veezoo. Business Partner (2026): MobiLab Solutions GmbH, the first name listed under that tier; the partner page continues beyond what this research pass captured, so the Business Partner tier should be treated as incomplete rather than exhaustive. No media partner tier was found published for this edition.
Not published as a breakdown. What can be observed: attendee testimonials on the organiser's site name large European and multinational corporates, including SAP, Deutsche Bank, Siemens, Allianz, Coca-Cola, Audi, Commerzbank, AstraZeneca, Tesco, Robert Bosch and TotalEnergies, describing IT infrastructure, data and AI leadership roles. Recently registered attendees at time of verification included staff from Oracle, Nokia, BMW and Eaton alongside smaller specialist vendors (Denodo Technologies, firstcolo Datacenters, Rosenberger-OSI). Sponsors are enterprise data, cloud and analytics vendors (Oracle, Denodo, Veezoo, fme AG). The audience reads as large-enterprise IT and infrastructure buyers from the DACH region, with a smaller layer of vendors and consultancies.
Not publicly disclosed. No dedicated press or media page, accreditation form or named press contact was found on the organiser's site. The only published address that could serve as a starting point is booking@we-conect.com.
None found by a named news outlet with a byline for this edition. What exists is third-party event listings (Conference Index, Create With) that reproduce the organiser's own dates, venue and description without independent reporting, and testimonial quotes published by the organiser itself from attendees at named companies (SAP, Deutsche Bank, Siemens, Allianz, Coca-Cola, Audi, Commerzbank, AstraZeneca, Tesco, Robert Bosch, TotalEnergies), which are promotional, not press coverage.
Low, by the four-level scale Events Index applies. Placed coverage: none identified. Independent but promotional: the third-party listing sites, which corroborate logistics but do not report. Predictable but unconfirmed: none identified for this edition. Organiser-claimed without proof: the attendee testimonials and every attendance and company-count figure on the organiser's own site, none of which is externally audited.
Anyone looking for AI product strategy, ethics, policy or startup pitching: the stated focus is operational and technical infrastructure, not business strategy. Data scientists and AI researchers whose work does not touch infrastructure decisions. Anyone expecting hands-on coding workshops rather than talks, panels and one-on-one meetings. Anyone outside the DACH region looking for English-first programming: the current edition's own site content is served in German by default, and its stated audience is decision-makers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Events Index tracks it in the developer and AI engineering circuit because its programme is infrastructure and operations, not strategy. It sits inside a four-summit cluster the organiser runs on the same dates and venue (Enterprise AI, Big Data Minds, Business Intelligence Minds), a co-location model we.CONECT repeats across its portfolio rather than a feature unique to this event. Berlin hosts other developer and AI events in the same September window under different organisers and audiences, for example Hatch Conference, a design-leadership event rather than an infrastructure one, so overlap in calendar terms does not mean overlap in audience.
Not confirmed. Search results surfaced fragments suggesting other same-brand editions exist or have existed in other cities and on other dates (a March Munich date, a 2027-dated page), but the organiser's site was unstable enough during this research pass, at one point rendering entirely unrelated third-party event content, that none of these could be independently corroborated (unverifiable information). Treat any claim of another city or date beyond the confirmed 28-29 September 2026 Berlin edition as unverified until checked directly against the organiser at booking time.
Not confirmed with certainty. The organiser's corporate site offers a German and English toggle, and the event microsite rendered in German by default during this research pass with the audience described as decision-makers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which points to German as the working language (unverifiable information). No explicit statement of on-stage session language was found.
Partly. A digital-access pass exists at EUR 895 (see pricing above), which implies some form of remote attendance, though its exact scope is unclear given the labelling inconsistency between the organiser's own channels. The database's own pipeline records no confirmed post-event replay access for this edition, and this research pass found no explicit statement of a recording or on-demand library. Assume live digital access only unless replay is confirmed at checkout.
Under the organiser's published terms and conditions, tickets are personalised (valid only for the named attendee) and, per those terms, a return, exchange or transfer of a ticket to a different event is generally not possible. Cancellation by the buyer is possible only by arrangement with the organiser, who states it will not unreasonably refuse a mutually agreed cancellation; the exact fee schedule for such a cancellation was not fully retrieved in this pass and is not repeated here to avoid mis-stating figures (unverifiable information). Prices are quoted exclusive of Germany's statutory VAT. A force majeure clause allows the organiser to move the event online or adjust or withhold refunds under defined conditions.
Not publicly disclosed. No accessibility statement from the organiser was found for this edition, and the venue's own accessibility details were not verified in this research pass.
Friedrichstrasse 151, 10117 Berlin, in the central Mitte district, directly on Friedrichstrasse. Berlin Friedrichstrasse station (S-Bahn and U-Bahn) is within walking distance. From Berlin Hauptbahnhof, S-Bahn lines run a few minutes to Friedrichstrasse. From Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), the Airport Express (FEX) train runs to Friedrichstrasse in roughly 45 minutes. The hotel's underground car park entrance is on Dorotheenstrasse, a side street of the same building, not a separate venue.
The same words cover at least three publicly used labels for this one Berlin date, "AI Infrastructure Summit 2026", "AI Infrastructure Summit Europe 2026" and "AI Infrastructure Summit DACH 2026", all pointing to 28-29 September 2026 at the same hotel under the same organiser. A generic name like this also collides with an unrelated United States conference carrying a similar name. A buyer or speaker confirming this event should check the venue (Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin), the date (28-29 September 2026) and the organiser (we.CONECT Global Leaders GmbH) rather than the headline name alone.
The 500+ figure the organiser uses in its own description of this summit is corroborated across two independent channels checked for this fiche, which is more than most self-reported numbers get. The larger figures, 650+ decision-makers, 265+ companies, sit in a statistics block that is not clearly scoped to this summit alone and most likely describes the four-summit co-located cluster rather than AI Infrastructure Summit in isolation. Neither set of numbers is externally audited; both are organiser-published.
