Dublin, Ireland – Tuesday 23rd June 2026 – Following the success of Big Data Dublin 2025, Big Data Dublin 2026 will return to Microsoft’s headquarters in Sandyford, Dublin for a half day conference, bringing together leaders from across business, government and the wider public and private sectors to explore how AI is moving into the core of every organisation.
Presented once again by Analytics Engines and hosted by Microsoft, the half‑day conference will focus on the rapid rise of agentic AI and edge AI, and what these developments mean in practice for strategy, operations and risk. Across the morning and early afternoon, attendees will hear how intelligent systems are evolving from simple copilots to autonomous agents that can act, collaborate and make decisions in real time – on the trading floor, in hospitals, across media platforms and in public services.
This year, Dell Technologies and PwC Ireland join as Principal Sponsors, with additional support from Software NI and Momentum One Zero. Together with Microsoft and Analytics Engines, they will share perspectives on topics ranging from governance and regulation of AI, to building the right infrastructure from edge to cloud, to securing the data and software supply chains that underpin agentic systems.
Rather than deep technical dives, Big Data Dublin 2026 will give attendees clear, accessible insight into the big questions organisations are facing:
Sessions will touch on everything from the changing nature of cyber risk in an AI‑enabled world, to how agent‑to‑agent technologies are beginning to reshape financial markets and customer experiences. Delegates will also hear real examples of how organisations are experimenting with AI at the edge, and how Irish and international businesses are preparing for the next wave of automation.
