The U.S. will soon be getting a new global B2B event focused on data, analytics and machine learning and artificial intelligence (MLAI). Set to launch April 10-11, 2024 at Javits Center in New York City, Data Universe will bring together businesses and industry professionals representing the entire data universe, including analytics, MLAI, strategy, operations, governance and more. 

Created and produced by leading global event producer RX, the annual education-led event will feature groundbreaking content and will build in collaboration with RX’s leading data event in the UK, Big Data LDN (London), to grow communities organized around the data technologies that are rapidly driving global business forward. 

According to Peggy M. Diab, RX USA event director, Data Universe will be the first major U.S. data event in which the entire spectrum of businesses and experts can share in the direction and content, thus ensuring the event is the most relevant, timely and fruitful show that data industry professionals attend annually. 

“Data Universe is going to be a unique event experience for data professionals and the supporting ecosystem that focuses on developing data driven enterprises, real world use cases and discussing business requirements face-to-face with leading solution providers,” Diab explained. “Ultimately, attendees can expect to take back high-quality intel on how they can use data to improve efficiency, drive growth and create new opportunities in their own businesses.

She added, “Building on the learnings, customer feedback and the strong success of Big Data LDN, all indicate a market need for an event of this type in the U.S., with New York City as one of the leading locations to host a tech show.”  

Event attendees can anticipate experts representing the spectrum of technology providers, consultants, academics and experts presenting trends, case studies, strategies and perspectives on a wide range of data topics, including: 

• Adopting and fostering a data-driven culture
• AI and ML
• Data governance and management
• Data mesh
• Data science and engineering
• Data security and privacy
• Streaming and real-time analytics
• Keynotes from visionaries delivering on the current and forward state of the industry

According to RX officials, education theaters will be built around featured areas including a main stage for keynote addresses from luminaries in the data world; an experiential exhibition floor providing a showcase for cutting-edge technology solutions from the most well-known names in the industry to the most innovative startups; and numerous events and opportunities to network with global data professionals and executives driving data transformations in their companies. 

“We see a tremendous opportunity to bring the energy and learnings from our Big Data LDN event to New York, and to give the U.S. audience a wonderful in person experience,” said Bill Hammond, founder and event director of Big Data LDN. “Theaters representing each of these communities will offer two days of keynotes, panel discussions, presentations and case studies delivering actionable insights to thousands of attendees each day.” 

Data Universe will collaborate with its UK sister show on multiple areas such as business model, content trends, experience design and program development where applicable to ensure there is alignment and consistency between the two events, Diab added. 

“The two show teams will work together to bring a fantastic experience to the U.S. market while ensuring that the Data Universe event in New York has its own unique attributes that align with U.S. attendee expectations,” she said. 

She continued, “The Big Data LDN team has tremendous experience in this market sector that predates the launch of their event several years ago. With that comes a highly respected and well-known reputation of what it takes to deliver a valuable event for the data community, so their direct partnership on this launch is a tremendous advantage for RX in launching the Data Universe event in the U.S.  

Additionally, the show’s association with RX parent company RELX, provider of information-based analytics and decision tools in various sectors, will enable Data Universe’s show organizers to draw on resources and intelligence not available to other conference organizers, according to RX officials. 

“RX is uniquely positioned to launch this new data and analytics event in the U.S.,” said Fernando Fischer, president of RX US. “Big Data LDN attracted record attendance from over 20 industry sectors last September and we’re looking forward to the same success in New York.” 

Registration for Data Universe will be announced soon, but interested parties can join the show’s mailing list to be kept informed of important dates, deadlines and additions to the program. To learn more and to sign up for the event, go here.
