Data & AI Stockholm’s first Summit brought hundreds together

Bringing the Data & AI ecosystem together couldn’t be more relevant than now. And there were hundreds of eager folks gathered at the summit, looking to learn from one another, exchange real experiences, tackle challenges together, and build meaningful connections, without sales pitches taking center stage. 

What started out with 12 people in March 2025; now has a community of 2 500 people. “The goal was a safe space for data and AI people to support each other in this extremely fast-paced world.” said founder Vanessa Andersson as she opened the sessions.

From Women in Tech Sweden, our Creative Director Elin Eriksson attended:
“It was impressive to see the wide variety of people in the venue – from seniors to the data-curious, with different backgrounds and open minds. And of course, some familiar faces among the volunteers really made sure that we had a great experience!”
