Big Data & AI Paris 2026 — Innovative Minds

Big Data & AI Paris is the reference event for data and AI transformation in French business, organized by RX France. The 2026 edition repositions itself as Innovative Minds and focuses more strongly on major enterprise decision-makers, with more than 200 sessions across seven rooms, 50 startup sessions, a revamped conference program, and a sharp focus on the industrialization of AI in practice.

Reinvented for 2026

Over the past few years, Big Data & AI Paris has grown into one of the most visited data events in France, with more than 17,000 participants, 220 exhibitors, and 300 speakers in the 2025 edition. For 2026, RX France is fundamentally redesigning the event. Under the banner of Innovative Minds, the focus is shifting towards high-quality enterprise meetings: the goal is to double the number of qualified visitors from large organizations, increase the size of enterprise delegations two to three times, and introduce a quality filter that guarantees the relevance of the profiles present. An Advisory Board of leading data and AI decision-makers directs the content program.

Three pillars and 200 sessions

The program consists of three complementary content pillars: architecture and modern data infrastructure (how do you build a scalable, governed data pipeline?), governance and responsible AI (how do you prepare for the AI Act, how do you audit models, how do you reduce bias?), and case studies with demonstrable ROI (how have other French companies successfully scaled AI?). More than 200 sessions spread across seven rooms, supplemented by 50 startup sessions in a separate innovation zone and a large exhibition featuring national and international suppliers.
