Delivering AI and big data for a smarter future
About This Event
AI & Big Data Expo Europe 2026 runs 19-20 October 2026 at RAI Amsterdam (Europaplein 24), and is the European leg of TechEx's enterprise technology series. The organiser expects 8,000+ attendees, 250+ expert speakers and 200+ exhibitors across eight co-located events — Physical AI, Cyber Security & Cloud, IoT Tech, Edge Computing, Intelligent Automation & Robotics, Digital Transformation and Data Centre — all accessible on one pass. Day one runs AI Leadership and Enterprise AI as paid Gold tracks alongside a free AI Builders track; day two runs Data & Analytics and Future AI as Gold tracks alongside free AI Developer and Physical AI tracks, plus a TechEx Learning Hub of workshops and a TechEx Connect meetup zone. The confirmed speaker roster is heavily enterprise rather than vendor: Claudio Gienal (Chief Transformation Officer, AXA Europe & Health), Vincent Decugis (Chief Data Officer, BNP Paribas), Philippe Rambach (SVP Chief AI Officer, Schneider Electric), Kevin Redmond (VP Data & AI Platform, IBM) and Conny Ploth (VP Global AI Transformation, Santander), with additional speakers from Michelin, GE Healthcare, Rabobank, Nestlé, Shell, EY and IKEA. An AI Hackathon and a start-up area connecting founders with investors round out the floor.

Why Attend
This is the cheapest way in Europe to put a whole leadership team in front of peers who have already shipped. The AI Leadership and Enterprise AI tracks are pitched at budget holders deciding what to fund next year, and the people on stage — the CDO of BNP Paribas, the AI officer of Schneider Electric, AI transformation at Santander and AXA — are running programmes at your scale under the same European regulatory constraints. Because eight co-located events share one floor and one pass, a CIO can cover AI strategy, data centre capacity, edge deployment and security governance in two days without booking four separate conferences, and the free developer tracks mean the engineers who have to build the thing can come along without doubling the budget.

What Makes This Unique
- ★One pass covers eight co-located conferences — AI, Physical AI, cyber security and cloud, IoT, edge, intelligent automation, digital transformation and data centre — so a single trip covers adjacent programmes you would otherwise attend separately
- ★The free pass is not expo-only: the AI Builders, AI Developer and Physical AI tracks are all free-tier, which makes it viable to send engineers alongside the leadership team on Gold passes
- ★The speaker roster is dominated by named enterprise practitioners (AXA, BNP Paribas, Santander, Schneider Electric, Nestlé, Shell) rather than vendor product marketing
- ★An Enterprise Leadership Pass is issued free on request to qualifying budget holders, which is a different economic model to the usual executive-track upsell
- ★Amsterdam RAI plus an EU-heavy audience means the governance content is framed against European regulation rather than retrofitted from a US programme
