EBDVF 2026 Speakers Corner

The EBDVF Speakers Corner aims at offering additional space to engage and communicate with the broader audience, in a more ad-hoc fashion, complementing the EBDVF programme and tracks. For its 10th edition, EBDVF will have a secondary stage located in the epicenter of all networking activities: the exhibition hall. There, participants will be invited to share updates on their latest accomplishments, disseminate calls to action or share nice memories from previous EBDVFs.

How will the Speakers Corner area work in the context of the EBDVF programme?

• During coffee and lunch breaks, the stage will be open to you 
• Format: individual inputs should last no more than 3 minutes. For a shared conversation (people engaged in exchanges), it will be longer. 
• Topics need to be related to the interests of the EBDVF audience / BDVA community: news, shout-outs to the data and AI ecosystem, questions meant to trigger/initiate conversations/exchanges with new peers off stage, innovations, “EDBVF turns 10” testimonials, etc.

How will it be organised?

We want this format to be as open as possible, offering space for spontaneous stand-ups. However, to warm up the stage, we would like to “pre-book” some speakers ahead of time, to get the ball rolling.

Do you have a topic that could fit the stage?

Reach out to us at ebdvf@bdva.eu to let us know more about your pitch/proposition/suggestions and share your ideas with the community.

Extended deadline for contributions is 1 September 2026, 18:00 CEST.

Disclaimer: The EBDVF Speakers Corner is not the place for next sales pitch, so keep the focus on the event’s community. This is an invitation for expressions of interest and the speakers will be chosen based on topics that fit well together or stand out through their content, innovation and novelty. EBDVFs are professional data and AI ecosystem events that bring the entire European data and AI community together to share knowledge, collaborate and celebrate achievements. EBDVFs provide a respectful and inclusive environment for all participants. The people talking in the Speakers Corner, as all other participants, are expected to behave with integrity and respect towards the audience.
