Three-day European conference on Data Mesh, data products, and AI-ready data at Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp, June 10-12 2026. Co-located with Domain-Driven Design Europe (DDD Europe), with tickets starting at approximately USD 1,219.
Data Mesh Live is the leading European conference dedicated to the Data Mesh architectural paradigm. The event covers data product thinking, AI-ready data infrastructure, metadata management, and data governance in complex organisational environments. The 2026 edition at Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp is co-located with Domain-Driven Design Europe, reflecting the conceptual overlap between domain-oriented data architecture and DDD principles.
The programme addresses the full scope of Data Mesh practice: how organisations design and operate data products, build AI-ready data infrastructure, manage metadata at scale, and govern data in distributed ownership models. Co-location with DDD Europe creates programming overlap for practitioners working at the intersection of domain modelling and data architecture.
Data Mesh is a sociotechnical approach to data architecture that shifts from centralised data platforms to federated, domain-oriented data product ownership. Introduced by Zhamak Dehghani, the paradigm has gained significant traction in large-scale enterprise data organisations since 2019.
DDD Europe (Domain-Driven Design Europe) is a separate conference with its own programme, running concurrently at the same venue. Ticket options may allow cross-conference access; check 2026.datameshlive.com and the DDD Europe website for combined ticket availability.
Lunch and coffee breaks are included in the ticket, according to the organiser. Workshop bundles and DDD Europe access may be available as separate tiers. Tickets start at approximately USD 1,219 for a standard conference ticket.
Queen Elisabeth Hall (Koningin Elisabethzaal) is a prestigious concert and events venue in central Antwerp. The building provides flexible spaces for conference use alongside its primary performing arts function.
Data Mesh Live is organised by Aardling, a European technology events organisation. Aardling produces both Data Mesh Live and hosts DDD Europe, explaining the co-location. The organiser is focused on practitioner communities in data and software architecture.
Co-location with DDD Europe and a ticket starting above USD 1,200 signals that Data Mesh Live is a specialist conference for committed practitioners, not a broad data industry event.
