About
Big Data Conference Europe is a technical conference on data engineering, cloud and artificial intelligence, now in its tenth edition. It targets data engineers, architects, data scientists, analytics professionals and technical leaders, and its program spans big data, high-load systems, machine learning, MLOps and LLMOps, real-time streaming, data security and AI agents. The 2026 edition runs from 24 to 27 November in Vilnius, Lithuania, with remote attendance also available. A day of pre-conference workshops on 24 November covers topics such as real-time pipelines, lakehouse design, Apache Flink streaming and Spark optimisation, followed by three conference days at Forum Cinemas Vingis. The organisers cite more than 700 attendees from over 35 countries, 90-plus talks across six tracks and seven workshops, and a single ticket also grants access to the co-located AI Summit Europe. Participants gain deep technical sessions delivered largely to a senior audience, practical guidance on building AI-ready data platforms and contacts across the Northern and Western European data community. For engineers responsible for the pipelines behind machine learning systems, this data and AI conference in Vilnius offers substance well beyond vendor overviews.

Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Planning your trip to Vilnius
Contains sponsored linksVilnius in late November is properly cold, around minus two to plus three degrees, often with early snow and darkness falling by four in the afternoon. The compensation is a baroque old town that handles winter beautifully, with vaulted cellar restaurants and a Christmas market taking shape on Cathedral Square. Lithuania's capital is compact, cheap by Western European standards and has built a substantial fintech and data engineering sector.
Getting there & around
Vilnius Airport (VNO) is unusually close to the city, only 6km out, with a rail shuttle reaching the central station in seven minutes and the number 88 bus taking around twenty. Riga and Warsaw connect by long-distance bus in four to eight hours. The old town is walkable end to end in half an hour, and trolleybuses cover the wider city on a cheap flat-fare system.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Lithuania consistently ranks near the top of European mobile speed rankings and public WiFi is widespread. A travel eSIM remains useful for non-EU visitors to avoid roaming costs during a four-day event. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Vilnius Old Town. One of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Northern Europe and a UNESCO site, layered with baroque churches, courtyards and university buildings. St Anne's Church and Pilies Street are the standard route. Winter afternoons with snow on the cobbles are the best version. Two hours on foot.
Gediminas Castle Tower. The surviving upper castle tower on the hill above the cathedral, reached by a funicular or a steep path. It gives the clearest overview of how the old town and the modern business district sit against each other. Twenty minutes at the top; check funicular operating hours in winter.
Uzupis district. A small quarter across the Vilnia river that declared itself an independent republic in 1997, complete with a constitution posted on mirrored plaques in dozens of languages. It holds artist studios, small galleries and a handful of bars. Ninety minutes, immediately east of the old town.
Trakai Island Castle. A red-brick castle on a lake island 28km west of Vilnius, reachable by regular train in around thirty minutes plus a walk. In late November the lake may be partly frozen and the site nearly empty. Dress for exposed wind. Half a day including transport. Tickets on Tiqets →
Good to know
How do I get from Vilnius Airport to the centre?
A rail shuttle links the airport to the central station in about seven minutes, and the number 88 bus takes roughly twenty. Both are inexpensive, and taxis cover the 6km quickly.
How cold does it get in late November?
Expect temperatures around freezing, between minus two and plus three Celsius, with snow possible and daylight ending by mid-afternoon. Insulated footwear and a warm coat are necessary rather than optional.
What currency does Lithuania use?
The euro. Card and contactless payment are accepted almost everywhere including transport and small cafes, so carrying much cash is unnecessary.
