Big Data Belfast 2026

Big Data Belfast 2026 brings Northern Ireland’s data and AI community to Belfast on 15 October 2026 for practical insight, ideas and industry connections. Positioned as Northern Ireland’s leading data and AI conference, the event brings together thought leaders, industry experts and data-driven innovators from across the UK, Ireland and beyond. It offers a focused opportunity to understand how analytics, artificial intelligence and digital transformation are changing organisations, and to learn from people applying these technologies in real settings. ## What to expect The conference will feature a packed programme of keynotes, case studies and panel discussions. Rather than concentrating on a single industry, sessions will examine how data is reshaping a broad mix of sectors: - Healthcare - Finance - Public services - Manufacturing - Sport This combination of strategic talks and applied case studies should give attendees both a view of the wider direction of AI and data and examples of how organisations are responding. Panels will add multiple perspectives to the conversation, creating space to explore the opportunities and practical implications of digital transformation. ## Who it’s for Big Data Belfast is aimed at professionals who work with data, lead technology initiatives or need to understand the organisational impact of AI. It will be particularly relevant to data and analytics practitioners, technology leaders, digital transformation teams, decision-makers and innovators from the featured industries. The published event information does not specify a required experience level, and the mix of thought leadership, sector examples and discussion makes the programme relevant to both hands-on specialists and senior leaders. Beyond the formal sessions, the conference is presented as a hub for connection, inspiration and growth. Its cross-sector audience creates opportunities to compare approaches, meet peers and build relationships across Northern Ireland’s wider technology ecosystem.… Register for this event
