Share Your Expertise: Call for Speakers

The call for speakers is now open for the 14th annual Data Summit conference in Boston, May 12-13, 2027, with pre-conference workshops on May 11th.

The learning experience at Data Summit for for every level of the data and AI organization. We plan on four tracks: Modern Data Architectures, Data Engineering, Data Governance & Data Products, and Agentic AI & Context Engineering. We believe that hands-on insights and implementations are essential to the data-driven organization.

It’s clear that enterprises, regardless of size, are looking at AI technologies that can streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve decision-making. They want scalable, flexible, and cost-effective approaches to data management. GenAI and Agentic AI contribute to organizational goals but the emphasis on data architectures, data engineering, data governance, and data strategy is ongoing.

Whether you're architecting next-generation data platforms, building production ML systems, delivering analytics to business users, or setting enterprise data strategy, Data Summit 2027 is looking for the real-world case studies and technical deep-dives, as our audience is a mixture of technical and business professionals. What's working now and what's next in data and AI? We want to showcase innovation and have presentations that encourage attendees to take home actionable frameworks, proven patterns, and implementation blueprints they can apply immediately.

Types of Sessions

We would like a mix of formal presentations and interactive panel participation. Case studies that demonstrate practical uses are particularly welcome. We also invite submissions for teaching half-day workshops. Feel free to suggest something different from a normal conference presentation—we like creativity!
