About the Event
The Compass AI & Data Summit brings together over 400 AI and data professionals in Budapest, Hungary for a two-day in-person conference. The event emerged from combining two established conferences: Crunch, which focused on data topics, and Reinforce, which concentrated on AI. This merger creates a unified programme spanning both disciplines.
The format combines expert-led talks with hands-on workshops, live Q&A sessions and networking opportunities. Sessions are recorded for later viewing.
