We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Data Summit is back for 2022 – bigger, bolder, and with more innovation than ever before!
For Data Summit 2022 we’re bringing thought-leaders from around the globe to discuss how innovations in technology, data, and artificial intelligence can make the world a better place. On the 3rd and 4th of November 2022 at the EICC in Edinburgh we’ll be welcoming data scientists, philosophers, artists, professors, CEOs, and everything in-between to share their thoughts, ideas and inspirations.

Stages
This year’s Data Summit will take place across three stages in the EICC – innovation, skills, and tech. Innovation will be our main stage and explore a huge range of cutting-edge ideas. People from around the world can tune in to stream this stage live with a virtual-only ticket to Data Summit. The skills stage will focus on data teams; how to build them, grow them, and ensure you get the most out of the talent you have available. The tech stage will dive into the nitty-gritty of innovation – the pointy end of the data stick. Across all three stages there’ll be a combination of talks, panels, fireside chats, and demonstrations to illustrate the most exciting applications of tech, data and AI in the world right now.
