The ETSI AI and Data Conference - Bringing AI and data together will take place face-to-face on 09-11 February 2026, in ETSI premises, Sophia Antipolis, France.
The 2026 ETSI AI and Data Conference is the 3rd edition of the event. Focusing exclusively on AI in the past, the scope is now extended to intertwine AI and Data management technologies. Standardisation Requests in support of the EU AI Act and the EU Data Act, means that European Standardisation Organisations are actively contributing to EU policy.
The event will provide an overview of current priorities in the AI and Data ecosystems, with a detailed discussion on how ETSI is addressing those. Agentic AI will also be in the spotlight in a dedicated session, and will be addressed from political, industrial, and wider perspectives.
Attendees will learn about standardisation around AI and have the opportunity to contribute actively, and highlight potential gaps, share ideas for new projects. The event will also feature demonstrations and posters on the latest advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data being applied to networks, digital systems and vertical sector applications.
This exclusive face-to-face event is a unique opportunity for ETSI members and non-members to gather, exchange with experts and peers, and obtain first-hand information on how to shape the future of AI and Data.
INSTAR at the event
Erwin Schoitsch, INSTAR AI Task Force co-leader, will attend the event on behalf of INSTAR. He will present the project, its activities and results. INSTAR will join the panel discussion in SESSION 7: Status & opportunities in ETSI technical groups on Day 3, 11 February. The session offers a holistic overview of new ETSI tools, with a focus on the ETSI Technology Radar, and on recently launched activities such as ETSI Technical Committee DATA (TC DATA), Technical Committee Quantum Technologies (TC QT) and others. Cross-links to AI and DATA topics will be addressed. This aligns with INSTAR’s work through its dedicated Task Forces on AI and Data. INSTAR will contribute by sharing insights on how AI and Data standardisation activities interact and where synergies can accelerate adoption in industry and policy ecosystems. The audience will also learn about the latest AI and DATA planned activities in ETSI TC SAI and TC DATA.
