The tenth Big Data Conference Europe: a four-day data, AI and cloud conference held in a Vilnius cinema from 24 to 27 November 2026, with one workshop day, three conference days and the co-located AI Summit Europe on the same ticket.
A technical conference for data engineers, analysts, data scientists, ML and AI practitioners, developers and architects, held in Vilnius every year since 2017 and run by UAB DATA MINER. The first two editions were called Big Data Conference Vilnius; the name Europe was adopted in 2019. The 2026 edition is the tenth. It covers big data, high load systems, data science, machine learning and AI in ten themes, from streaming and lakehouse architectures to MLOps, secure AI and agents.
24 to 27 November 2026. Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 November is the main conference, and 24 November is the pre-conference workshop day. The conference days are at Forum Cinemas Vingis, Savanorių pr. 7, Vilnius, Lithuania. The workshops on 24 November are at SIMBIOCITY Nova, V. Gerulaičio g. 10, 08200 Vilnius. The database held "Multikino" as the venue; that is not what the organiser publishes.
UAB DATA MINER, a Vilnius conference company (company code 302350931, registered at Verkių g. 31B-2, Vilnius 09108), which the ticket page names as event organiser, ticket seller and invoice issuer. The company also runs AI Summit Europe, TestCon Europe, DevDays Europe, DevOps Pro Europe, Digital Marketing Europe and CyberWiseCon Europe.
700+, an organiser figure, from 35+ countries. The organiser's own audience statistics (edition not stated): by role, data analysts and scientists 28%, data engineers 27%, managers, team leads and executives 17%, software developers 13%, others 15%; by seniority, senior 50%, mid-level 31%, junior 10%, executive 5%, entry level 4%; by region, Northern Europe 37%, Western Europe 29%, Central and Eastern Europe 13%, Southern Europe 8%, outside Europe 13%. The database figure of 2,000 is not supported by the organiser, which gave 700+ for 2024 and 2025 and 1,000+ for 2023.
It is the tenth edition and is co-located with AI Summit Europe, which every ticket includes (in 2025 the conference was co-located with RPA Europe and AI Summit Europe). The organiser advertises 90+ talks, up from 60+ in 2025, 7 workshops and 6 tracks. It adds a movie screening on 25 November (the badge voucher serves as the ticket) and an official afterparty on 26 November. The 2026 themes put production GenAI, agents and secure AI next to the older streaming and lakehouse topics, and the ticket page adds lunch, coffee breaks and a 15% discount on the next edition.

Published roster on the official event page, by tier (logos only):
Data and AI vendors, consultancies and product teams. In the 2026 speaker roster, the most frequent organisations are Databricks (5 speakers), TNG Technology Consulting (5), SEB (5) and Amazon Web Services (3), alongside Wix, Zalando, Thrive Learning, Fresha, Red Hat, Confluent, Aiven, IBM and Mistral AI. Attendee company data is not published.
Not publicly disclosed. The site publishes no press procedure. General questions go to info@bigdataconference.eu and phone +370 618 00999.
None independent found in the sourced material. What exists is organiser content: an aftermovie, session recordings on the DATA MINER YouTube channel (full-year playlists 2018 to 2023, top sessions 2023 to 2025) and attendee testimonials on the event site.
Treat it as organiser-controlled. The sources are the organiser's own site, its videos and reviews it selects; the listed partner sites are event calendars and AI news aggregators. No independent report on the 2026 edition was found.
Non-technical executives looking for AI strategy or governance overviews will find most of the data engineering programme out of reach, although the AI Summit Europe tracks on strategy and responsible AI are included. Anyone who needs live remote access should note that the organiser's FAQ says online attendance is not offered. Buyers wanting a large exhibition should look elsewhere: the sponsor list is five companies.
It is a late-November Vilnius date: the 2025 edition ran 18 to 21 November, 2024 ran 19 to 22 November and 2023 ran 21 to 24 November. The organiser publishes its own comparison page of European big data conferences, which was not read for this verification. The tenth edition is a community-style single-venue event rather than a vendor summit, according to the organiser's FAQ.
No. The conference has run in Vilnius since 2017 and moved online in 2020, 2021 and 2022 because of COVID-19, returning to Vilnius in 2023. The organiser runs other conferences under different names, including AI Summit Europe, TestCon Europe and DevOps Pro Europe.
English. The organiser's FAQ states all sessions are held in English.
Live remote access is contradicted on the official site. The FAQ answers "No" to online attendance and says only session recordings are provided to participants after the event. The home page, however, labels the conference days "Vilnius & Online" (unverifiable information), and the ticket page sells onsite tickets only. Ticket holders get all session recordings; workshops are onsite only. Recordings of earlier editions are free on the DATA MINER YouTube channel.
Tickets are non-refundable, except if the organiser cancels the event or changes its dates. Tickets may be transferred to another attendee free of charge before the event starts, on request to tickets@bigdataconference.eu. Promo codes cannot be applied after an order is completed.
Not publicly disclosed. The event site publishes no accessibility statement for either venue; a code of conduct is linked from the ticket page, which covers behaviour.
The conference days are at Forum Cinemas Vingis, Savanorių pr. 7, Vilnius, 03116 (the cinema's own address). The organiser gives no transport directions; it offers ticket and hotel packages with four central hotels (Courtyard by Marriott, Neringa Hotel, Imperial Hotel, AC Hotel by Marriott Vilnius). The 24 November workshops are elsewhere, at SIMBIOCITY Nova, V. Gerulaičio g. 10, 08200 Vilnius, so check which venue a session uses.
The organiser describes a conference built around talks, workshops and a cinema auditorium, with 90+ talks on 6 tracks and a hands-on workshop day, and its own audience data shows 77% of attendees in analyst, data scientist, data engineer or developer roles and half at senior level. With only five logos in the sponsor list and no exhibition floor described, the time goes to sessions, not booths.
The database held 2,000 attendees; the organiser says 700+ for 2024, 2025 and 2026, and its history page gives 1,927 registrations for the online 2022 edition and 1,000+ for 2023, which is the likely origin of the larger number. The home page says "Vilnius & Online" while the FAQ says online attendance is not offered. The 90+ talks are described as planned, and the roster of 100 names covers two conferences. All figures are organiser claims, none audited.
