5 Reasons to Attend DataFest Tbilisi 2025
DataFest Tbilisi – the largest data festival in Eastern Europe and Central Asia – is returning for its ninth edition this year. The three-day festival will take place on November 27–29.
DataFest Tbilisi 2025 is fully dedicated to the future of data and artificial intelligence. Among the topics discussed will be:
Technology – the latest breakthroughs in AI, machine learning, LLMs, MLOps, data engineering, and quantum computing.
Business & Startups – how AI products are built, scaled, and transforming the business world.
Art – where creativity meets technology: generative design and AI art.
Society – ethics, regulation, digital skills, the future of work, and responsible AI.
Being part of the festival audience is a valuable experience for anyone passionate about technology, art, and data. There are many reasons to join this year’s edition – but here are five that truly stand out:
- A community united by shared values
No matter what background you come from, everyone at the festival shares one key passion – data and artificial intelligence. You’ll be surrounded by people who think like you and care about the same values.
- 2. Experts behind tech innovation
From the DataFest Tbilisi stage, you’ll hear directly from the minds shaping the future of AI – the very people building these technologies themselves.
- Side events that run alongside the main program
We call them Side Events – sessions designed to help participants connect, network, and exchange experiences beyond the keynotes and workshops.
- Knowledge that stays with you long after
Over three days, you’ll gather inspiration, hands-on insights, and fresh ideas that will enrich your portfolio and professional journey.
- Tbilisi – a city alive with constant energy
This reason matters most to international visitors, but it’s worth highlighting for everyone: DataFest Tbilisi is built on the same energy and values that drive Tbilisi itself every day.
