PasDaS 2026: Event Postponed – Stay Tuned!

Business meets Science

Shaping Europe’s Journey to AI​ and Data Sovereignty
with Data Products

Two in-person conference days to learn about the latest data management trends 

More than 25 expert speakers from all industries and science 

Exclusive networking opportunities with peers and thought leaders and an unique evening event

​The Passau Data Summit is an annual conference that brings together industry leaders, academics, and visionaries to explore advancements in data and AI since 2016.

After the success of PasDaS 2025, where over 200 participants gathered under the theme “Scale. SustAIn. Shape. Changing the game with data products,” we’re back with an even bolder vision for 2026.

This year, we ask: How can Europe navigate the complexities of AI and data sovereignty in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape? As digital independence becomes a defining issue of our time, PasDaS 2026 will bring together business leaders, researchers, and visionaries to explore data products as a key to Europe’s digital autonomy.

But it’s not just about technology anymore. It’s about society, democracy, and the future we want to building together. We believe that meaningful change happens through authentic conversations, not corporate pitches. That’s why PasDaS is on a mission to bring together a community of innovators and thought leaders. PasDaS 2026 will continue our tradition of creating a uniquely personal and approachable atmosphere.

Here’s what to expect:

Thought-provoking discussions with experts who are as passionate about learning as they are about sharing.
Genuine networking in an atmosphere that feels more like a community than a conference.
A space to shape the future, where ideas spark innovation, and connections turn into collaborations.

Join us and contribute to the public discourse on AI and data sovereignty in Europe.
Together, we’ll explore how data products can shape not just markets, but the democratic values and digital autonomy
we want to preserve for future generations.

Are you in? Let’s meet in Passau and shape Europe’s digital future together.
 
Let’s all meet again next year in Passau.

Stay tuned for PasDaS 2026.

ABOUT pasdas

About the Passau Data Summit – a conference unlike any other

PasDaS is not your standard conference with people in suits talking about business. We emphasize a personal, down-to-earth atmosphere, where all participants engage in open discussions and meet at eye level. You simply have to be there to experience it for yourself.    

Our speakers and participants love PasDaS 

After experiencing it once, most of our speakers and participants attend year after year again to get involved in this unique atmosphere and learn something new each time.

“If you are looking for a highly engaging exchange about the latest trends in Data Science, PasDaS is the place to be. Here, technical experts can meet at eye level and, in addition, deepen the conversations in the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.”
