The Stakes Are Real

Six months ago, you had time.
Today you have a
responsibility.

AI agents are becoming the operating layer of the enterprise.

Your board has read the same headlines you have β€” and now every business capability is being reviewed for where agents fit.

The question isn't whether agents will reshape your organization.
It's whether you'll be the one leading that transformation... or reacting to it.

You are confused on what actually works β€” because it is unclear.

You're overwhelmed with the rate of change in the AI market β€” because
every quarter things seem to change substantially.

And you're trying your best to get everyone on one page, where most people
don't fully grasp how AI works and where everyone is getting a bit
opportunistic.

Imagine This

A structured, intense, and immersive 3-day program with your peers β€” to systematically co-create your individual game plan for your data & AI transformation.

You bring your own challenges. With the help of our coaches and your peers, you find the best strategies to resolve them and derive concrete next steps. Briefing sessions give you clarity. Real lessons from leaders who are a step ahead. And the tools to create clarity when you're back in the office on Monday.

The Promise

Leave Data Masterclass Europe
with a clear game plan for AI
and confidence to execute.

Data Masterclass is not a conference. There are no passive keynotes, no expo hall, and no sales pitches.

The Experience

Over three days, you'll work through the full stack of what it takes to build an agentic enterprise β€” from strategy and governance down to architecture, implementation, and team readiness.

Breakout coaching sessions Speed-dating style topic tables Peer-driven workshops Real-time plan building

Your Mission

Preparing for the Mars Mission

Think about it: transforming your enterprise for the agentic AI era is not a project. It's not a roadmap item. It's a Mars mission.

It requires a clear destination, a crew that's aligned, engineering that actually works, and a launch plan you can execute under pressure. Most organizations have none of these.

They have decks. They have pilots. They have "AI strategies" that live in slide format and die in execution.

Data Masterclass Europe is your mission control. In 3 days and 6 workshops, you go from briefing to launch-ready β€” with a 90-day flight plan built by you, pressure-tested by your peers.

Day 1 β€” Chart the Course

Every Mars mission starts at mission control. Before you launch, you need to know where you're going, why it matters, and who's on the crew.

AI Strategy Define the mission objective

Build your board narrative, strategic alliances, and transformation roadmap. You're the mission commander β€” this is your flight plan.

AI Organization Assemble your crew

Your team was built for Earth. Map out what your org needs to look like for Mars β€” the skills, roles, and structures the agentic era demands.

Aleksejs Plotsnikovs & Kinda El Maary

Mission Objective: Locked Mission objective locked. Crew structure defined. You know where you're going.

Day 2 β€” Build the Ship

You don't fly to Mars on a business case. You need the architecture, the engineering, and the systems that will actually get you there.

AI Architecture Design the spacecraft

Build the semantic layer, metadata infrastructure, and context systems that let agents deeply understand your organization. No context, no mission.

AI Engineering Wire the engines

Design a scalable enterprise AI architecture that connects agents with your data platforms and applications. This is what makes everything fly.

Day 3 β€” Prepare for Launch

The ship is built, the crew is ready. Now it's time to run the final checks, seal the plan, and prepare to launch when you're back in the office Monday.

Who This Is For

This 3-day event is for senior Data & AI
leaders who understand the difference
between hype and clear insight.

You've watched the AI conversation go from experimental to existential in under a year. You believe agents are real β€” maybe AGI too β€” and you're already experimenting. You know the gap between informed and uninformed leadership is about to become career-defining.

But information is just one click away and is never enterprise-ready.

Which is why you'll leave DME26 with:

DME26 is capped at 160 attendees. Every person in the room is at your level or above.

  • ● A 90-day execution plan for integrating agents into your enterprise β€” built by you, pressure-tested by our coaches, panelists, and your peers
  • ● A clear data and architecture roadmap for making your foundations agent-ready
  • ● An organizational blueprint for the skills, roles, and team structures the agentic era demands
  • ● A board-ready narrative that connects your transformation plan to business outcomes
  • ● A network of 160 senior leaders navigating the same transition β€” people you'll call on long after Berlin

FAQ

What makes this different from a typical data conference?

There are no expo halls, no sales pitches, no passive sessions where you sit and listen for eight hours. DME26 is six hands-on workshops. You rotate through all of them and leave with an integrated 90-day execution plan. Every session produces a tangible output.

Who will be in the room?

Senior Data, Analytics, and AI leaders at European enterprises β€” Heads of, Directors, VPs, and C-level. Attendance is capped at 160.

I'm not sure my organization is ready for agents yet. Is this still relevant?

Especially then. Two of the six workshops focus specifically on readiness: data architecture and organizational design. You don't need to be deploying agents today. You need a plan for getting there.

Can I send multiple people from my team?

Yes. The team package (Up to 5 seats) is built for this. Sending your Data, AI, and Analytics leads means they build the plan together rather than one person trying to translate it back.

Where is the event?

Colonia Nova, Thiemannstraße 1, 12059 Berlin.

What about accommodation?

Attendees book their own accommodation. We recommend booking near NeukΓΆlln or central Berlin with easy access to the venue.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable. You can transfer your ticket to a colleague at any time before the event.

I have more questions.

Reach out to [email protected] β€” we'll get back to you within 48 hours.

No replays. No second rounds.

160 Data & AI leaders. Six workshops. Three days in Berlin. One plan you'll actually use.

The leaders who move first don't just adapt to the agentic era β€” they define it for their organizations. This is where that starts.

The Stakes
Are Real.

Six months ago, you had time. Today you have a responsibility.

AI agents are becoming the operating layer of the enterprise. Your board has read the same headlines you have and now every business capability is being reviewed for where agents fit.

The question isn't whether agents will reshape your organization. It's whether you'll be the one leading that transformation… or reacting to it.

Let's be honest: no one is 100% clear what actually works yet… because it is unclear. The market reinvents itself every quarter, your team doesn't fully grasp how AI works, everyone's getting a bit opportunistic. And you're supposed to get an entire organization on one page.

That's exactly why this exists.

Leave Data Masterclass Europe with a clear game plan for AI and confidence to execute.

Six workshops. Continuous personalized coaching. One 90-day game plan when you leave.

Our Guarantee: You’ll leave with a 90-day plan you built yourself, inspired by your peers and pressure-tested by our coaches, ready to present to your team next Monday.

Who This Is For

This event is for senior Data & AI leaders who are done pretending the path forward is clear.

You've watched the AI conversation go from experimental to existential in under a year. You believe agents are real β€” maybe AGI too β€” and you're already experimenting.

But let's be honest: you're confused about what actually works. You're overwhelmed by a market that seems to reinvent itself every quarter. And you're trying to get an entire organization on one page when most people don't fully grasp how AI works β€” and everyone's getting a bit opportunistic about it.

You know the gap between informed and uninformed leadership is about to become career-defining.

"This event was the ultimate investment for my career development and for my success as a data leader."
