About the Event

Data 2030 Summit is an annual round table event gathering the Data Management community in one place and platform to discuss ways of equipping enterprises with the strategy, architecture, and enablement needed to transform data into a scalable, trusted foundation for autonomous and intelligent operations.

For the past ten years Data 2030 Summit has served as a remarkable knowledge-sharing and networking platform for data practitioners in the Nordics. Since 2020 the event is available as well to data practitioners in the APAC, ANZ and MEA Region with dedicated regional editions. Presentations from all previous events can be found on our media channel hyperight.com.

Limited to 250 Delegates

To maintain the networking and knowledge-sharing experience, this round table summit is limited to a maximum of 250 onsite participants. The number of Online participants is unlimited. Speakers and exhibitors are carefully prequalified and selected to match the current regional market challenges, and provide outstanding content and insights relevant to the participants attending. The event has been sold out way in advance, in every one of the past 10 editions.

Interactive Roundtable Discussions

To foster more immersive and in-depth knowledge sharing and interaction, we have allocated time for interactive, open, two rounds of moderated roundtable discussions.

2025 Nordic Data & AI Week

21 – 23 October, 2025

A week of nothing but awesome Data & AI events

What happens when the Nordic Data Management, HPC, and Data Science & Machine Learning communities align their flagship events in one week, under one roof? You get the 2025 Nordic Data & AI Week – an unmatched convergence of conferences, visionary talks, hands-on workshops, partner showcases, and vibrant celebrations.

We kick off on October 21 with the 10th annual Data 2030 Summit, where data management leaders come together to architect the AI-powered enterprise. This summit propels transformation through modern operating models, data platforms, and governance strategies. Day 1 hosts a high-impact conference; Day 2, October 22, offers focused, practical workshops.

Also on October 22, two major events join the momentum. The second annual Nordic HPC Summit convenes AI innovators, SMEs, infrastructure providers, and policymakers to accelerate collaboration, expand compute capacity, and advance digital sovereignty. Meanwhile, the 10th annual NDSML Summit puts the spotlight on cutting-edge developments in Generative, Agentic, and Applied AI across industries. That evening, all three communities come together to celebrate at the iconic AI Confessions Mingle.

The NDSML Summit continues on October 23 with its main conference day – delivering insider insights into the latest tools, techniques, and trends redefining data science and machine learning in the enterprise.

Choose one summit, attend either one, or divide and conquer with a colleague – then reunite at the mingle.

See you at the 2025 Nordic Data & AI Week – a defining moment for the future of Data and AI.
