TechEx Europe 2026: 8,000 Enterprise Technology Leaders Converge In Amsterdam in October

Europe’s largest enterprise technology gathering returns to RAI Amsterdam on 19–20 October 2026. TechEx Europe brings together eight co-located conferences under one roof — and with more than 8,000 professionals expected across two days, the scale of the event reflects the urgency of the challenges it addresses.

European Business Magazine is attending as an official media partner.

What TechEx Europe 2026 Is

TechEx Europe is not a single conference. It is eight simultaneous events — AI & Big Data, Cyber Security & Cloud, Digital Transformation, Intelligent Automation & Robotics, IoT Tech, Physical AI, Data Centres, and Edge Computing — each running its own programme of sessions, case studies and technical discussions, all accessible on a single pass.

The format is built around a specific audience: CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, Chief Data Officers, enterprise architects, engineering leaders and digital transformation professionals from large, complex organisations. The sessions are practitioner-led. The problems being discussed are live, not theoretical.

“Enterprise technology leaders are navigating a period of rapid change, where AI, data, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and automation are reshaping how organisations operate,” said Michael Hughes, Head of Conference at TechEx Events. “The TechEx Europe agenda is designed to provide practical insights, real-world implementation lessons, and opportunities for meaningful peer-to-peer discussion across these critical areas.”

TechEx Europe 2026: The Confirmed Speaker Lineup

The 2026 speaker list is drawn from the operational leadership of some of Europe’s largest and most recognisable organisations — not advisory roles, but the people running AI, data and technology functions at scale.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Ambica Rajagopal — Group Chief Data & AI Officer, Michelin
• Hiek Van der Scheer — Chief Data Officer, ABN AMRO
• Prabhat Singh — Global Chief Data & Analytics Officer, The Magnum Ice Cream Company, Unilever

Additional speakers will be announced ahead of October.

TechEx Europe 2026: Why Amsterdam and Why Now

The timing of TechEx Europe 2026 is not incidental. The event takes place at a moment when the gap between enterprise AI ambition and enterprise AI delivery has become the defining problem in technology leadership across Europe.

Most large organisations have now moved from evaluation to implementation — but implementation at scale, across complex infrastructure, regulated environments and heterogeneous data estates, is a fundamentally different problem from proof-of-concept. The TechEx programme reflects that shift: the agenda prioritises architecture decisions, security frameworks, automation at scale and the practical realities of deploying AI across organisations that did not start as technology companies.

The addition of Physical AI as a dedicated track — covering robotics, autonomous systems and the convergence of software intelligence with physical operations — marks a significant expansion of the programme’s scope and signals where enterprise technology investment is heading over the next three to five years.

TechEx Europe 2026: Exhibition and Technology Providers

Alongside the conference stages, more than 200 technology providers will be on the exhibition floor. Leading sponsors already confirmed include IBM, EY, NTT DATA, Glean and OutSystems.

The exhibition spans AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, automation and robotics, IoT, data management, infrastructure and enterprise software — covering the full technology stack that large organisations are currently evaluating, deploying or replacing.

For technology buyers attending from enterprise organisations, the exhibition offers direct access to the vendors and implementation partners actively working on the problems the conference is discussing. For technology providers, TechEx Europe offers concentrated access to 8,000+ senior professionals over two days in one of Europe’s most connected cities.

Networking and the Learning Hub

TechEx Europe structures networking deliberately. The Meetup Zone, a Networking Drinks Reception, a facilitated meetings platform and Learning Hub workshops are all built into the programme — alongside the main conference content.

For technology leaders whose working weeks rarely permit sustained peer conversation, two days at RAI Amsterdam provides the kind of cross-industry, cross-functional discussion that is difficult to replicate in any other format.
