What language will be spoken at the event?

Data Makers Fest talks and activities will be conducted in English.

What's included in the festival ticket?

All of our festival tickets include access to both conference days, with all the activities and spaces, and exclusive access to recordings of all talks right after the event.

Are meals included in the ticket?

Sorry, foodies, the festival ticket doesn't cover meals. But, we've got free-flowing water and coffee all day, and who knows, maybe some surprise snacks too. And don't worry about getting hungry—our food court will have some food trucks dishing out breakfast, lunch, snacks, and - of course - beer for the two days.

Will there be any networking opportunities?

We've got some awesome networking activities up our sleeves. We won't spill the tea yet, but trust us, there'll be plenty of chances to connect with other attendees, sponsors, and speakers. Oh, and did we mention the networking beer?

Is there a dress code for the festival?

No. We're keeping it chill and informal at Data Makers Fest.

Is there parking available at the venue?

Yes, we have some slots available and you can now officially book them here. Please keep in mind that the parking slots are limited, so the sooner the better. The cost for the 2-days conference is 40€. However, we highly recommend taking public transportation to the venue. There’s a bus stop in front of the main entrance. We'll provide you with all the information in the app.

How do I become a speaker?

The Call for Speakers for 2024 has already closed, with over 200 submissions. However, if you feel you have what it takes, we would love to have you on stage next year. Please write us at speakers@datamakersfest.com.

How do you select the speakers and talks?

We want Data Makers Fest to be a place of growth and valuable insights. To achieve this, we are always seeking the most relevant technical perspectives in the data field. Each year, we release a Call for Speakers and then, together with our Content Advisors squad, select the talks. During this process, the evaluators only have access to the outline and description of the session, and not to the speaker or affiliation. This ensures that every talk is selected solely based on content quality and topic relevance. Apart from the Call for Speakers, we also invite some specific speakers and keynotes to create an neat agenda.

Are there any sponsorship opportunities?

Sure! If you feel Data Makers Fest might be a match for your company, we'd love to talk. Besides sponsoring, we also have other opportunities for your company to benefit from the festival. Please fill in the form on the footer ("Partner with us") or send us an email to corporate@datamakersfest.com.

Can I cancel my ticket?

If you can no longer attend Data Makers Fest, you can cancel your ticket up to 60 days before the event and we'll refund you 50% of the ticket price. After that, unfortunately, cancellations are non-refundable. These conditions apply to all types of tickets but xceptions might apply in case of force majeure events. Alternatively, you can transfer your tickets to a friend or colleague! Just email us at tickets@datamakersfest.com and we'll ensure everything is taken care of. Please remember that all transfers must be made at least 30 days before the event.

What happens if the festival is canceled?

In the unlikely event of the festival being canceled or postponed, tickets will remain valid and can be used at the next in-person edition. Alternatively, attendees can opt for a full refund.
