data:unplugged 2025:
A look back at Germany's biggest data & AI festival
In April 2025, Münster became a center of artificial intelligence. For two days, the German data and AI community gathered here at the country's largest KI festival: SMEs, executives, startups, corporate leaders, tech talents, curious people. At the center of German SMEs — for the future of the digital economy.
d:u25 wasn't a classic event. It was a space that grew with every idea. A meeting, supported by conversations that last. From people who create — for companies, for society, for what's to come.

Our top speakers from last year
In keynotes, lectures and panels, over 150 speakers shared their insights on artificial intelligence, data and digital transformation. In master classes and workshops, knowledge became tangible — practical and applicable to companies of all sizes.
And when Jan Delay took over the stage in the evening, it was clear: What inspires during the day is celebrated in the evening.
data:unplugged is a movement. Born from an idea. Grown out of conviction.
It all began in a small podcast studio in Münster.
Two Münsterländer — Bernard and Marcel — wanted to create a place where real conversations about data and artificial intelligence arise.
What began as an idea became the first edition of data:unplugged in 2024. And in 2025 — just one year later — to Germany's largest data and AI platform.
An AI festival, supported by a strong community
What made d:u25 special wasn't just the program. But what happened in between:
Questions that continued. Conversations that have persisted. Random encounters that turned into real connections. Networking that has an impact beyond the event.
Speakers who gave impetus. Partners who have helped shape it. And a community that has shown what is possible — when attitude meets exchange.
d:u25 was — and is — energy. curiosity. courage. community.
And the feeling: There are many of us. And we're ready.
The d:u25 is over.
Not the movement.
Not the movement.
Now it's time to move on.
