Munich, January 29, 2026 – The organizer of World of Data (WoD) has announced the first speakers for the event, which will take place on June 11, 2026, in Munich. Even at this early stage, the diversity of industries represented is notable. Speakers come from well-known companies such as OTTO, grenke, dpa, Giesecke+Devrient, Telefónica, Weidmüller, and Fiege, representing retail, financial services, industry, telecommunications, media, and logistics. All speakers bring valuable insights from exactly those business areas in which data, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are already being used productively today.
“We wanted once again to attract high-caliber speakers for 2026 who work with data on a daily basis and are willing to share their experiences openly,” says Sebastian Amtage, founder and managing director of b.telligent, the organizer of World of Data. “Our data event thrives on real-world insights and practical solutions taking the stage, not idealized wishful thinking.”
The first confirmed speakers for this year’s World of Data in Munich include:
These speakers represent organizations with very different requirements when it comes to data, analytics, and AI. This diversity is exactly what World of Data has stood for for more than 12 years.
World of Data is aimed at data leaders, analytics experts, and decision-makers who want to learn about current developments in the data market in a compact one-day format and exchange hands-on experiences. Networking in a familiar and informal setting at Munich’s Nockherberg venue plays a particularly important role at WoD. Around 40 presentations on data, analytics, and AI will be featured. In parallel, an exhibition of well-known technology partners will take place.
Catering is also included. Culinary refreshments are part of the ticket price, encouraging lively “data exchange” even during shared meals. The day concludes with an evening event, which is also included in the ticket or can be booked separately.
“World of Data is so popular because real discussions and meaningful conversations take place there every year,” says Klaus Blaschek, also founder and managing director of b.telligent. “We deliberately create a familiar atmosphere and provide time and space for exchange. I am especially looking forward to that again this year.”

Additional speakers and program details will be announced over the coming weeks.

What started in 2014 as the “BI Congress” has since evolved into one of the leading events for data analytics, AI, and consulting in the DACH region. World of Data brings together data professionals, decision-makers, and software manufacturers in one day – dedicated to networking, celebration, and the exchange of trends and best practices in the data industry. From big data and cloud to AI and customer intelligence – WoD impresses with hands-on presentations, strong case studies, and an exhibition of innovative partners. Since 2023, the event has alternated annually between Germany and Switzerland. In 2024, around 850 participants from a wide range of industries came together in Munich.
