Data at Scale - Postponed October 2026

"Update: this event has been postponed from 7 July to October 2026. The exact date will be confirmed shortly. Existing registrations carry over." Data at Scale is a one-day, single-track conference in Amsterdam on best practices in large-scale data processing. One day, in person, no product pitches; real engineering on real data. Bring together database, backend, and systems engineers who actually run big workloads to share what works, what breaks at scale, and what they've learned. Who this is for Database, backend, and systems engineers running production data systems Engineers and researchers working with billions of rows or terabytes-plus Technology enthusiasts who want a serious-but-friendly day on data systems at scale What to expect One 45-minute opening keynote by Alexey Milovidov, original author of ClickHouse Standard talks (around 25 minutes + Q&A) on real-world large-data work Lightning talks (5–10 minutes) with sharp takes and fast demos Modest exhibition and demo area for hands-on time with tools and teams Evening reception in The Courtyard (weather permitting), running until 19:00 The schedule is intentionally single-track so everyone sees every talk.
