The moment we have all been waiting for is here:
Tickets for the European Big Data Forum are now available on the EBDVF event website. 

This 10th edition of the European Big Data Value Forum is organised by the Big Data Value Association (BDVA) in collaboration with  CeADAR – Ireland’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Dell Technologies, F6S Network, Rinn Artificial Intelligence / Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics, Innovation Value Institute – Maynooth University and RFSAT Limited – Research for Science Art and Technology.
EBDVF 2026 is an associated Irish EU Presidency event, supported by Failte Ireland and the European Commission. 

EBDVF is the flagship event of the European Big Data Value and Industrial AI Research and Innovation community. The central theme of the 2026 edition will be ‘’Building Europe’s AI and Data Backbone: Strategy, Investment and Impact”. 
The event brings together industry professionals, business developers, researchers and policymakers from all over Europe and other regions of the world to advance policy actions, and industrial and research activities in the areas of Data and AI. 

This is a physical, 2-day event taking place from 30 September to 1 October 2026 at DEXCOM Stadium in Galway, Ireland’s cultural heart.
You can reach Ireland through various airports and take a bus to get to Galway, make sure to book well ahead and secure your train or bus seat to avoid unwelcome surprises (visit the EBDVF info page for more details).

The event is configured to mix interesting talks and discussions with quality networking time, as we know the informal talks are an important element when building collaborations or finding partners for new projects.
