data:unplugged 2026 Recap – AI in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, Microsoft Fabric, and a Cool Data Slam

In our recap video, we look back on two exciting days at data:unplugged 2026. In addition to numerous discussions, inspiring encounters, and professional exchanges, you’ll find highlights from our program as well as the Data Slam at the harbor.

As a Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner and a leading provider of data and AI solutions in Germany according to Lünendonk 2025, we were represented on-site alongside our team of Microsoft experts. Highlights of our trade show presence included a fully booked masterclass on “AI in the SME Sector,” expert presentations on the Microsoft Stage, an exclusive VIP roundtable, and the jointly organized Data Slam at X-Dock.

Christian Schneider, Executive Director of Data & Processes at Dataciders, draws a positive conclusion and highlights in particular the numerous discussions regarding the successful implementation of AI solutions in small and medium-sized businesses. For Microsoft, too, one topic took center stage: the speed with which companies today must implement data and AI initiatives in order to remain competitive.

We would like to thank all the speakers, participants, and slammers, as well as our entire team, for contributing to the success of the event. A special thank you also goes to the Data Slam’s partners for their trusting and successful collaboration.
