14th Data Management & AI ThinkLab

October 21-23, 2026 | Prague, Czech Republic

ABOUT
Data Management
& AI THINKLAB

This is not another buzzword-heavy summit.

In a world obsessed with the next shiny tech trend, data fundamentals often get overlooked.

At Thinklab, we do the opposite.

THINKLAB is built around one clear belief:

Modern business runs on data, but only if it’s managed right. And yet, data management still sits in the shadow of trendier topics like AI, automation, and cloud transformation.

We’re here to change that.

At Thinklab, we bring data management to the front of the room, right where it belongs. Because without governance, quality, and ownership, none of the tech trends can scale or succeed.

AI and LLMs will be explored in connection to business outcomes and in line with ethical principles, marking a departure from the typical hype talk.

Expect raw stories, honest lessons, and deep dives into the realities of building data-driven organizations. From the frameworks that hold everything together to the human skills that push transformation forward, we cover what matters most.

No fluff. No hype. Just a community of professionals ready to do the real work.
