Data & AI Conference Europe 2026

Run by IRM UK Strategic Training, the Data & AI Conference Europe 2026 takes over etc.venues Fenchurch Street in central London for a five-day programme spanning 2–6 November. The official page frames it around "responsible data and AI in the age of intelligence," with workshops bookending the main conference and exhibition days. It is pitched squarely at data leaders, AI practitioners and analytics professionals rather than a casual public audience, and the organisers note five parallel tracks covering data quality, AI strategy, AI ethics, machine learning and advanced analytics.

What you get as an attendee is a structured mix of keynotes, case studies and hands-on sessions, with the site advertising contributions from a long roster of organisations including AWS, AstraZeneca, Capgemini, Meta, Thoughtworks, the Met Office and Accenture, and early-confirmed speakers drawn from asset management, consultancy and enterprise data-governance roles. An Industry Best Practice Awards strand and dedicated networking in the exhibitor hall round out the format. This is a long-established IRM UK series (its data-governance and MDM events draw repeat attendees), so the tone is practitioner-to-practitioner: real implementation stories, governance frameworks and how to align AI adoption with business strategy, rather than vendor theatre. Worth a look if your work sits at the intersection of data management and applied AI in a European enterprise context.
