More Than Just a Conference.
The Home of the Data Community.

What is now a fixed date in the calendars of many data professionals began in 2014 under a different name: the “BI Congress”. The idea behind it was as simple as it was powerful: we wanted to create a platform where experts, decision-makers, and software vendors don’t just talk about each other, but with each other.

This exchange quickly evolved into something more. The topics became broader, the community grew. Business Intelligence expanded into Big Data, IoT, Cloud, and Artificial Intelligence. A new name was needed: “World of Data” was born.

Today, WoD is far more than a trade show. It’s a “family gathering”. We deliberately avoid anonymous mass processing and instead focus on an atmosphere where real partnerships can grow. Since 2023, we’ve been taking this spirit beyond national borders, alternating annually between Germany (Munich) and Switzerland.

We love data, but we also love looking beyond our own backyard. That’s why our keynotes and guests don’t just come from the server room, but straight from real life:

• Global responsibility: NGOs such as WWF Switzerland also share their vision and their data and AI use cases on our stage.

• Rock star attitude: Annabell Whitney compared companies, data, and life as a rock star and captivated the audience at Nockherberg.

• Top brands on stage: From ProSiebenSat.1, Miele, Telefónica, and PAYBACK to Renk and DFL Digital Sports – this is where market leaders speak. And they’re far from finished.
