Data & AI Conference Europe 2026

A five-day practitioner programme from IRM UK at etc.venues Fenchurch Street: workshops on 2, 5 and 6 November wrapped around the main conference and exhibition on 3 and 4 November.

Five tracks — AI in Practice and Applied AI, Data and AI Strategy and Value, Modern Data Platforms, Architecture and Semantics, and Governance, Risk, Privacy and Responsible AI. Case studies are from working teams rather than vendors: speakers include Ajay Mathur at Jupiter Asset Management, Claudia De Jeu Boronat, Lead ML Engineer at WTW, Garry Manser, Head of Data Governance at Vanquis Banking Group, Sue Geuens of Elsevier and Daragh O Brien of Castlebridge, with eBay, Meta and the Bank of England cited on the programme.

Paid: from £975 plus VAT for one day up to £2,695 for all five, with group discounts.

Why go: this is the governance-and-platforms end of the data world, where the talks are about systems already in production. Best for data leads, ML engineers and governance people in regulated industries.
