Explore the Data Jungle: English-Language Talks at Data Festival VŠE 2026
Interested in data, AI, entrepreneurship, and the future of technology? Data Festival VŠE 2026 has something for English-speaking visitors, too!
On November 3, 2026, the Rajská Building at the Prague University of Economics and Business will welcome students, data enthusiasts, and industry professionals for another edition of Data Festival VŠE, this year themed Data Jungle. Among the full-day programme of talks and workshops, visitors can look forward to three sessions delivered entirely in English.
At 10:45 in room RB 210, Stanislav Matoušek from MSD Czech Republic will present Chameleon or Dinosaur? Why Your Data Architecture Is Going Extinct. Discover why traditional data architectures are struggling to keep up and how AI-powered engineering can help companies build flexible, future-ready solutions.
Later, at 13:15 in the same room, Paul Čejka will explore the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence in his talk AI: Requiem for the Centaur. Drawing inspiration from chess, he’ll examine what happens when AI becomes so powerful that human involvement may no longer provide a competitive advantage.
To wrap up the English-language programme, join the panel discussion From Idea to Startup: Build It, Validate It, Take It International at 16:00 in room RB 209. Organised in cooperation with the Economic and Commercial Office of the Embassy of Spain in Prague, the discussion will explore how to turn an idea into a viable business, validate its potential, and take the next steps towards international expansion, with a special focus on opportunities in Spain.
And why not make the most of the breaks between the sessions? Visit the festival’s partner stands in the Rajská Building atrium, meet professionals from the data industry, and explore potential career opportunities. Who knows? Your next internship or job might be waiting there!
Admission is free! Simply register via Eventee and use the English language filter in the programme to find all three sessions.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Data Jungle on November 3!
