Data Masterclass
Europe 2026
All enterprises want to be AI-ready. But what are the first practical steps to make it happen?
The Data & AI Leader role you grew into is evolving. Agents are rewriting it. Three days to build your 90-day transformation execution plan for leading in the agentic eraβwith the coaches, frameworks, and clarity to actually make it happen.
Ends May 1st
Made possible by partners committed to high-quality events
The Experts
Meet Your Speakers and Coaches
You won't be listening to passive keynotes. You'll be working side-by-side with leaders who are actively deploying agentic AI in the enterprise.
The Stakes
Are Real.
Six months ago, you had time. Today you have a responsibility to lead with purpose and courage.
AI agents are becoming slowly the new 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.
However, agentic AI use cases will not work without the groundwork. AI ready data, AI ready architecture, a strong context layer, an AI ready organization, an AI compliance framework and AI security controls.
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. Creating fast business wins while building the AI foundations. Building trust, growing skills and finding new ways to collaborate.
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 yet how AI agents work, 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: Youβll 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.
Strategy Workshop: Create your board narrative & transformation roadmap
Your role as a Data & AI leader is changing faster than most org charts can keep up with. Build the strategic alliances, board narrative, and transformation roadmap to lead β not just react.
Architecture Workshop: Design a scalable enterprise AI architecture
Agentic AI introduces a new and constantly evolving architecture stack. Design a scalable enterprise AI architecture that connects agents with your data platforms and applications.
Data Workshop: Build the context layer that AI agents need to work smoothly
Agents require massive business context to operate effectively. This includes structured data, documents, metadata, pipeline code, videos and images. A product approach helps to keep the right focus on quality.
Organization Workshop: Map what your team needs to look like in 12 months
Your team was built for a world before agents. This workshop maps out what your org needs to look like in 12 months and how to start moving now.
AI Workshop: Implement enterprise grade AI agents and vibe code safely
Experimental agents and vibe coded software are easy to build. Reliable enterprise agents and software applications are not. This workshop focuses on designing robust agent systems, orchestrating tools and services.
Analytics Workshop: Provide self-service analytics with AI on a small budget
Small elite data analytics teams, thousands of users and, yet, limited budget. Use AI and the enterprise context layer to automate large parts of the data engineering and analytics value chain and provide insights reliably using natural language.
The Process
Your Three Days
You bring your challenges.
You make sure that you bring your most pressing issues. The mission parameters are set by you.

Monday Morning
You walk into the office with a plan you built yourself, ready to present to your team.
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."

Frequently Asked Questions
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 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, ThiemannstraΓe 1, 12059 Berlin. View Map
What about accommodation?
Attendees book their own accommodation. We recommend these nearby hotels: Hotel Option 1, Hotel Option 2.
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.
See You Soon
100+ Data & AI leaders. Six workshops. Three days in Berlin. Your gameplan for AI you'll actually use.
The leaders who move first don't just adapt to the agentic era: they define it for their organizations. This is where that starts.
