What Was Big Data Conference Europe 2024?
Big Data Conference Europe 2024 was held in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 19 to 22 November 2024. A four-day data engineering, machine learning, and analytics conference for Europe's technical data community, it brought together data engineers, ML practitioners, and cloud architecture experts for workshops, talks, and hands-on sessions exploring data infrastructure, distributed computing, and AI-powered analytics. The official page sat on the Big Data Conference Europe site. It is a technical data and AI conference, not a dedicated crypto event, though blockchain's role in decentralised data infrastructure, on-chain data analytics, and Web3 data engineering featured given Lithuania's growing position as a European crypto and fintech technology centre.
Vilnius's emergence as a Baltic technology hub — with a competitive tech talent pool and EU membership enabling MiCA compliance — gave this conference a genuinely distinctive European data community character. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our crypto summits list.
Key Themes at Big Data Conference Europe 2024
The four-day technical agenda covered data infrastructure broadly:
- Distributed data engineering and stream processing.
- Machine learning infrastructure and MLOps.
- Blockchain and on-chain data analytics applications.
- Lithuania's MiCA framework and crypto data compliance.
Four days of workshops and talks gave technical participants unusually deep practical engagement compared to single-day conference formats. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Vilnius's Tech Hub Identity Shaped This Conference
Lithuania's Bank of Lithuania serves as the MiCA competent authority, with the December 31, 2025 licensing deadline creating compliance planning urgency for Lithuanian crypto firms operating under the transitional period. Lithuania had also become a notable European crypto and fintech hub, attracting payment institution licensing and crypto exchanges due to its EU membership, competitive costs, and English-speaking tech talent pool — making blockchain data discussions here genuinely relevant to local industry.
On-chain data analytics had matured significantly as a technical discipline by 2024, with blockchain data engineering requiring specialised skills around indexing distributed ledger records, querying on-chain state, and building analytics pipelines from event logs — technical topics directly relevant to Big Data Conference Europe's practitioner audience regardless of whether they worked in traditional or Web3 data engineering.

Impact of Big Data Conference Europe 2024 on Baltic Data Engineering
A four-day data engineering conference in Vilnius featuring blockchain data analytics advanced the Baltic data community through practically-deep technical engagement. It connected Lithuanian data engineers with blockchain data infrastructure skills relevant to the country's growing crypto and fintech industry. It surfaced MiCA's data reporting requirements as a specific compliance engineering challenge. And it reinforced Vilnius's position as a credible Baltic host for European technical data conferences. Each session reflected that technically-deep, Baltic-tech-hub character.
