Data Leaders Brussels #1 - Policy × Industry × Technology × Research
Just another Tuesday?
Data Tuesday is coming to Brussels!
Join us for a small, informal mid morning coffee bringing together people across technology, research and industry.
Brussels already has a vibrant AI and tech community. Data Tuesday is intended to complement it with something slightly different: a smaller table, a little more time to talk, and a mix of experienced professionals, researchers, founders and technologists who might not normally sit together.
No speakers.
No panels.
No presentations.
No sales pitches.
Just coffee, conversation and a few interesting people around one table.
What we may talk about
There is no fixed agenda. Bring a question, an observation, or something you have been thinking about lately.
Topics may include:
What is actually changing in AI beyond the hype?
Where is AI creating real value in industry?
AI, data and robotics in real-world systems
Multi-agent and agentic AI
Mobility and manufacturing
Research moving into practice
AI governance and organisational challenges
Data infrastructure and operating models
Why everything still somehow ends up in Excel
Or whatever interesting question happens to arrive at the table
The conversation is free flowing. You are welcome to contribute actively, ask questions, challenge assumptions, or simply listen over coffee.
Format
We are keeping the first Brussels gathering intentionally small.
Around 5–10 people
One table
About 75 minutes-
Chatham House Rule
The aim is to create a relaxed peer conversation where people can speak openly across different professional perspectives.
Two Data Tuesday rules

Coffee is not free — please order a coffee, drink or something from the café so we can support and appreciate the venue hosting us.
Breakfast or brunch will also be available depending on the venue.
Venue
Brussels — Hoxton hotel cafe.
Who is this for?
Data Tuesday welcomes people working across data, AI, technology, research, industry and adjacent fields.
For this Brussels edition, we are particularly interested in bringing together a cross-section of:
Technologists × Researchers × Industry practitioners × Founders × Independent thinkers
The emphasis is less on titles and more on having something thoughtful to bring to the table.
English will be the main language.
Please register with full details. Confirmation may be subject to availability so that we can keep the group small enough for a real conversation.
If your plans change, please update your RSVP so the seat can be released.
