Budapest Data+AI Forum is an annual independent conference focused on data management, machine learning, and AI for practitioners. Running since 2013, it is Hungary's primary event in this space and draws around 300 attendees from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. The audience is primarily technical: data engineers, ML engineers, architects, and senior developers who work hands-on with data systems.
