Big Data Minds Europe is an annual executive-level summit focused on the strategic and technical challenges of large-scale data management in European enterprises. The 2026 edition runs 28-29 September at Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin as part of the we.CONECT co-located cluster alongside Enterprise AI Europe, AI Infrastructure Summit Europe and Business Intelligence Minds Europe. A single registration covers all four co-located events. The summit draws CDOs, data architects, data platform engineers and analytics leaders to discuss shared challenges in data architecture modernisation, governance, data quality and building platforms that serve both traditional analytics and AI workloads.
Core programme themes include:
The summit is designed for data leadership: CDOs, data architects, data platform managers, analytics leads and data engineering heads in large European enterprises. The co-located format means attendees also have access to the AI strategy, infrastructure and BI content from the three adjacent summits, supporting cross-functional discussions between data, AI and business intelligence teams.
Big Data Minds Europe is part of a four-summit cluster at Maritim proArte Hotel Berlin:
A single ticket provides access to all four summits.
The focus is operational data leadership: not AI research, not startup pitching, not keynote marketing. The agenda addresses the engineering and governance decisions that determine the reliability, cost and usability of large-scale data systems in production European enterprises.
Pan-European. we.CONECT positions the event as an all-European summit and draws attendees from across the continent, though the Berlin location and German-speaking market influence the participant base.
