An annual three-day applied data, analytics, and AI practitioner conference held in Stockholm, running continuously since 2016 and expanding into a global regional series. The Nordics edition at Kistamässan brings together data scientists, ML engineers, and AI practitioners from across Northern Europe and internationally, with 3,500 attendees according to the organiser.
Data Innovation Summit (DIS) is an annual applied data, analytics, and artificial intelligence conference organised by Hyperight, a Sweden-based commercial event and media company. Founded in 2016, the Nordics edition takes place annually in Stockholm at Kistamässan. The event runs across 15 stages (according to the organiser) over three days. It positions itself as a peer community forum for data and AI practitioners across industry, public sector, and academia, with an emphasis on applied use cases rather than product marketing. A regional edition series branded "DISx" extends the format to markets including Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, and Riyadh.
Note on dates: The source database record references a 2026 edition on 6–8 May 2026. The official website at time of verification (2026-06-09) shows the next Nordics edition as 18–20 May 2027. This suggests the 2026 Stockholm edition has concluded. The 2027 dates are confirmed on the official site. This fiche records 2027 dates as the next confirmed edition.
The next Stockholm edition runs from 18 to 20 May 2027 at Kistamässan. Hyperight has not published the 2027 programme or speaker lineup as of verification. The event follows a consistent format: multiple parallel stages over three days, each targeting distinct technical or industry verticals within the data and AI space. Tickets and speaker applications are managed through the official website.
DIS Nordics occupies a well-established position in the spring Northern European data and AI conference calendar. Running since 2016, it predates the generative AI wave and has a broader scope than AI-only events, covering data engineering, analytics, and IoT alongside machine learning and AI. Its Kista location, in Stockholm's technology cluster, positions it within Sweden's substantial data and tech industry. It does not compete directly with enterprise AI summits targeting C-suite buyers; its audience is predominantly hands-on practitioners.
The session count and detailed agenda for the 2027 edition are not published at time of verification.
