An annual German-language conference in Cologne for data scientists, data engineers, and data teams, covering practical data science, agentic AI, data products, and data governance across two conference days plus an optional workshop day.
data2day is an annual German-language practitioner conference for data science and data engineering professionals, organised by heise Medien and dpunkt.verlag. The event focuses on applied practice: data science workflows, agentic AI implementation, data product design, and data governance in production environments. The two-day conference at KOMED im MediaPark in Cologne is accompanied by an optional pre-conference workshop day for extended hands-on learning.
The programme addresses the working practice of data teams: applied data science methods and tooling, agentic AI patterns for data automation, data product development and delivery, DataOps and pipeline reliability, data governance frameworks and compliance, machine learning model deployment and monitoring, and the intersection of data engineering with AI infrastructure.
data2day is primarily a German-language conference. This is a defining characteristic: the event is oriented toward DACH data practitioners who prefer content in German. Some sessions may be available in English, but the majority of the programme is delivered in German.
heise Medien is the publisher of iX, c't, and other German-language technology media. dpunkt.verlag is a technical book publisher. Both organisations focus on the practitioner-level German technology community. data2day is positioned as the conference arm of this publishing community.
Practitioners outside the German-language market who need English-language content, executives seeking high-level strategic talks without technical depth, business analysts working at the report or dashboard level rather than the engineering or science level, and professionals with no prior data science or data engineering background.
KOMED im MediaPark is a conference venue within the MediaPark complex in Cologne, an established hub for media and technology businesses. The venue is accessible by U-Bahn from Cologne central station (Koln Hauptbahnhof) in approximately 10 minutes. KOMED offers dedicated conference facilities suitable for multi-session events.
heise Medien is the leading German-language technology publisher, operating data2day alongside iX Developer and other practitioner events. dpunkt.verlag is the associated technical book publisher. Together, they bring an established community of German-speaking technology professionals to the data2day audience.
data2day serves a specific and underserved cohort: German-language data practitioners who want substantive technical depth without travelling to English-language international conferences or navigating a multilingual programme.
