Data Council is the first community-powered data platforms, science, & analytics event for software engineers, data scientists, deep learning researchers, and technical founders who want to discover tools & insights to build AI-based products. Click to remind me.
Our talks are backed by our 100% No Bullshit Guarantee* and delivered by leading data scientists and engineers from top organizations like Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, GO-JEK, Astronomer, Qubole, Canva, Stitch Fix and more
Tired of mega-conferences where it's hard to interact with people? We are too, so we aim to limit attendees to 500 for each of our events. Our attendees are also highly-skilled data scientists, engineers, analysts & engineering managers.
We believe in Open Source; code, content and mentality. We feature top open source contributors and tools at our talks. Afterwards, we publish all content for the community, for free.
We are a diverse group of geeks, coders, scientists, analysts. We are rooted in the global data community but care deeply about local data communities. No big $/€ sponsors here, just data nerds, like you & I.
Experience our popular "Speakers Office Hours" format plus our favored Data Community Party. Through our intentional matching

Hi Very Cool Manager,
I’m writing because I have some great news: Your very cool data geek wants to attend the next
Data Council is not the standard watered-down “big data” conference you might have attended previously - instead we are built and run by software engineers, developers and data geeks. We have teams from across Europe, the US and Asia participating every year with companies lots of very cool data engineering or data science companies along with many awesome speakers.
This year hundreds of data geeks like you and I will celebrate learning and sharing at Data Council.
Event Details Go Here
We’d actually love to have the both of you attend. The event includes 2 full days and
Your employee is eagerly awaiting your response, so send them an email. This will make their day!

We aim to keep attendees lower than 500 attendees for any Data Council event or conference. We've been there too, and we know the reason you attend conferences is not to be sold to or lose yourself in a massive sea of attendees.
Aiming for less than 500 attendees ensures that you have a fair chance to engage with speakers 1:1 on your favorite track during Speaker Office Hours. It's worth noting that this is not a watered-down "mega-conference," but an intentional community-powered conference for engineers & scientists, by engineers & scientists, like yourself!
Generally, our conferences attract between 300-500 people depending on the season, location, and speakers.
Most speakers hold "office hours" after their talk, which are a great opportunity to take the discussion further in a smaller setting.
Unlike Q&A where you are usually limited to asking one question, you will be able to have an in-depth back-and-forth discussion with the speaker and like-minded attendees - a great way to learn more and build long-term relationships.
Attendees often mention Speaker Office Hours as one of their favorite perks of attending our events.
