Data Summit 2027

Data Summit 2027 is DBTA's annual data management, analytics and AI conference, held May 12-13, 2027 at the Hyatt Regency Boston in Boston, Massachusetts, with preconference workshops on May 11. Run by Information Today, Inc., publisher of Database Trends and Applications, it is organised around four tracks: Modern Data Architectures, Data Engineering, Data Governance & Data Products, and a track on Agentic AI & Context Engineering that is new in emphasis for this edition. Alongside the main programme sits the Data + AI Leadership Forum, an executive stream of roundtables and peer-advisory sessions on governance, responsible AI and value realisation for CIOs, CDOs and CDAOs. It is deliberately compact - two days in a single hotel rather than a convention-centre sprawl - and its call for speakers favours practitioner case studies and half-day workshops over vendor keynotes.

For a CDO or CIO trying to get agentic AI past the pilot stage, Data Summit puts the unglamorous prerequisites - data architecture, engineering pipelines, governance and data products - in the same two days as the agent work, so a leadership team can calibrate its AI roadmap against its actual data readiness. The Leadership Forum gives executives closed-door peer sessions on responsible AI and measuring value, and the per-workshop pricing lets engineers get hands-on training without a full pass. Attendees in past editions have come from Abbott Laboratories, Dell, Fidelity, Google, Meta and Target.
