Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, has announced that its flagship event, Qlik Connect 2026, will be held April 13–15 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The conference will bring together customers, partners, and industry leaders for three days of learning, collaboration, and practical demonstrations on how organizations are moving beyond AI pilots into scaled, production-ready systems that deliver measurable business impact.
The focus of Qlik Connect 2026 is squarely on operationalizing AI and analytics at scale. As enterprises move past experimental phases, the central challenge is ensuring that successful models are deployed widely while less effective initiatives are retired responsibly. This requires data foundations that are complete, explainable, and secure, alongside governance frameworks that treat risk, lineage, and auditability as core operational disciplines. Attendees can expect to explore how to combine innovation with durability, keeping experimentation alive while hardening pipelines, controls, and AI patterns that matter directly to financial performance.
The program will include high-level vision sessions on agentic, predictive, and generative AI—showcasing how these technologies are becoming embedded into daily enterprise decision-making. Hands-on labs will provide practical training in data integration, quality, analytics, Qlik Predict™, and unstructured content retrieval. Real-world case studies will highlight quantifiable business impact, while dedicated skills pathways will guide attendees toward certifications in AI, analytics, and data engineering. The event will also spotlight open, interoperable architectures such as lakehouse deployments, Iceberg optimization, and hybrid/multi-cloud environments, ensuring flexibility for enterprises scaling their data ecosystems.
Complementing the technical sessions, the partner and accelerator showcase will demonstrate how Qlik’s ecosystem shortens time to value and enables enterprises to realize business outcomes faster. As IDC’s Giovanni Cervellati observed, Qlik Connect continues to stand out for its bold innovation and pragmatic approach, aligning advanced AI with trusted data integration to create a unified, end-to-end strategy for enterprise intelligence.
Registration will open soon, with early access and rate information available for those who sign up for notifications. For enterprises ready to transform AI from promising experiments into reliable, P&L-measurable outcomes, Qlik Connect 2026 promises to be a pivotal event.
