Forward Data Conference 2025
November 24, 2025
500 attendees
The Forward brought together 500+ Data & AI practitioners. This edition started from a reality the whole industry is living: AI is transforming what teams build, for whom, and how. The lines with software engineering, product and business have never been so thin.
The Forward Data Conference returns in 2025 with a new edition dedicated to the future of Data & AI. Still in Paris, it will bring together international experts around key themes: AI & ML Engineering, Platform & Analytics Engineering, strategy and governance. On the agenda: inspiring talks, hands-on workshops and networking opportunities to help teams and careers move forward.
