There is something fitting about bringing one of Europe’s most exciting data science conferences to Rome — a city that has, for millennia, been a place where great minds converge, ideas are exchanged, and the course of history is shaped. In March 2027, that tradition continues, this time with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science at the center of the conversation.
The DSC Next Conference — officially the International Data Science Next Conference — returns for its 3rd Edition on March 9–10, 2027, in Rome, Italy, and the excitement surrounding this year’s event is unlike anything the series has seen before.
From Amsterdam to Rome: A Conference That Keeps Growing
When the first edition of DSC Next launched in 2025, it was a bold bet — a conference designed not just for academics and researchers, but for the full spectrum of professionals shaping the future of data: engineers, executives, entrepreneurs, analysts, and innovators from every corner of the globe.
It worked. The inaugural edition exceeded expectations, and the 2nd Edition in Amsterdam in May 2026 raised the bar further, welcoming speakers and attendees from over 15 countries, featuring 28+ sessions across two packed days, and culminating in a prestigious award ceremony that recognized outstanding contributions to the data science and AI ecosystem.
Now, with the 3rd Edition set for Rome, the conference is evolving once again — broader in scope, more international in reach, and more ambitious in the conversations it wants to spark.
What Makes DSC Next Different?
I have attended a fair number of data science conferences over the years, and one thing that consistently stands out about DSC Next is the way it balances depth with accessibility. This is not a conference where you sit through three days of dense academic papers with no real-world relevance. Nor is it a glossy corporate showcase where vendors talk at you from behind branded banners.
DSC Next sits in that rare and genuinely valuable middle ground — rigorous enough for researchers, practical enough for industry professionals, and open enough to welcome voices from fields that don’t always get a seat at the data science table.
The 2027 agenda reflects this philosophy clearly. Sessions will span not only the technical core of data science and AI — generative AI, agentic systems, NLP, MLOps, data infrastructure — but also their application across healthcare, finance, legal tech, sustainability, cybersecurity, smart cities, and more. The message is clear: data science is no longer a vertical. It is a horizontal that touches everything.
Rome 2027: Two Days, One Global Community
The 3rd Edition is scheduled across two full days — Tuesday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 10, 2027 — and the programme is designed to maximize both learning and connection.
Delegates can expect:
- Keynote Sessions from globally recognized thought leaders in AI, data science, and technology
- Speaker Presentations covering trending topics from agentic AI to climate analytics, enterprise data infrastructure, FinTech AI, legal tech, and cognitive science
- Panel Discussions bringing together diverse voices for the kind of honest, unscripted conversations that matter
- Coffee Breaks and Networking Lunches — because some of the best conversations happen away from the stage
- Award Ceremony recognizing outstanding organizations and individuals driving innovation in data science and AI
The conference is organized by Next Business Media (NBM), the team behind a portfolio of successful multi-industry events previously held in Las Vegas, Singapore, Orlando, and Dubai. Their experience running international events at scale shows in the quality of the programme, the caliber of speakers they attract, and the care they put into creating an environment where real connections happen.
Why You Should Be in Rome in March 2027
The honest answer is this: the data science and AI landscape is moving faster than most organizations can keep up with. The gap between what is possible and what is being implemented continues to widen — not because the technology is not ready, but because the knowledge, the networks, and the strategic clarity needed to act on it are still unevenly distributed.
That is exactly what a conference like DSC Next is built to address. Two days in Rome will not just give you access to the latest ideas — it will give you the context, the connections, and the confidence to bring those ideas back to your organization and actually do something with them.
Whether you are a data scientist looking to sharpen your skills, a business leader trying to understand where AI is taking your industry, a researcher wanting to share your work with a global audience, or a startup founder looking to connect with potential partners and investors — there is a reason to be in Rome.
Get Involved: Speak, Sponsor, or Attend
DSC Next 2027 is actively welcoming speaker submissions, sponsorship enquiries, and delegate registrations. If you have expertise worth sharing — a research finding, a real-world case study, a framework that has worked in your organization — this is the stage to share it on.
Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities are also available for organizations looking to increase their visibility among a highly targeted, globally engaged audience of data science and AI professionals.
Registration is now open at www.dscnextconference.com
Final Thought
Rome was not built in a day. Neither is a career in data science, nor a meaningful AI strategy, nor a conference series that genuinely moves the needle. DSC Next 2027 represents three years of building something real — and the 3rd Edition in Rome promises to be the best yet.
Mark your calendar. March 9–10, 2027. Rome, Italy.
See you there.
