About this Event
Big Data NYC 2026 marks the next chapter in the acclaimed Big Data Conference Series — following the success of Big Data Belfast, Big Data Dublin, and previous editions in New York.
Returning to Business Insider Headquarters as part of New York Tech Week, this flagship transatlantic event will unite senior leaders, innovators, and technologists to explore how Artificial Intelligence is evolving at the edge of innovation — shaping the future of industries such as Financial Services, Media, and Healthcare.
Building upon last year’s strong focus on foreign direct investment (FDI), this year’s conference shifts attention toward real-world AI deployment — examining how organisations are operationalising data and intelligence to drive growth, resilience, and value.
Through expert keynotes, cross-sector panels, and strategic networking, Big Data NYC 2026 will celebrate Northern Ireland’s expanding global footprint in technology while amplifying its role as a trusted partner in AI transformation.
