Big Data Conference Europe

Description

Big Data Conference Europe returns for its 10th edition, bringing together 700+ developers, data engineers, and AI professionals from 35+ countries for four intensive days of technical learning and hands-on experience. Taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania from November 24–27, 2026, this hybrid conference offers both onsite and online attendance options, making it accessible to a global audience. ## What to Expect The conference opens with a full day of hands-on workshops on November 24, followed by three days of technical talks across four specialized tracks. With 60+ sessions covering the latest developments in AI, data engineering, machine learning, and cloud technologies, this is a focused technical event designed for practitioners who build and deploy data systems at scale. The 2026 edition focuses on production-ready solutions rather than demos and proofs-of-concept. Expect deep technical content on: **Data Engineering, Pipelines & DataOps** - Advanced RAG architectures and implementation patterns - Agentic workflows and orchestration frameworks - LLM fine-tuning strategies versus prompt engineering - Evaluation and benchmarking methodologies for LLM systems - Observability and monitoring for GenAI pipelines **Real-Time Data & Streaming Architectures** - Production implementations with Kafka, Flink, and Spark Structured Streaming - Event-driven architecture patterns - Real-time feature engineering at scale - Streaming ML inference pipelines - Low-latency analytics architectures ## Who Should Attend This conference is designed for technical practitioners: data engineers, ML engineers, data scientists, software architects, and developers working with large-scale data systems. Whether you're building real-time streaming pipelines, deploying GenAI applications, or managing complex data infrastructure, you'll find practical insights from peers solving similar challenges. ## Conference Format The event features a cinema-style venue with comfortable seating, excellent acoustics, and large screens ensuring every technical detail is clearly visible. The hybrid format means remote attendees get the same access to talks and Q&A sessions as those attending in person. Beyond the formal sessions, the conference includes interactive elements, networking opportunities, and the chance to connect with industry experts from across Europe and beyond. The organizers emphasize practical, experience-driven content. Speakers are practitioners sharing real-world imple
