The Semantic Intelligence Revolution.

Although organizations across industries continue to invest heavily in data, AI, and digital transformation, many still struggle to translate these investments into clarity, control, and confident decision-making.

Almato DevCon 2026 brings together more than 400 executives, technical decision-makers, developers, business partners, and AI experts from over 150 companies and public sector organizations to explore how clarity and direction can be established in increasingly complex data and AI landscapes. The conference focuses on AI and data, with semantic intelligence as the connecting layer that turns information into insight, and insight into action creating a sustainable foundation for transparent, traceable, and reliable decision-making at scale.

The overall moderation of the DevCon will once again be led by Prof. Dr. Nils Herda, one of Germany’s leading experts in strategy and IT, who advises numerous CIOs of renowned Hidden Champions. He will also moderate the Almato Executive Roundtable on the evening prior to the conference, adding a clear strategic framing to the entire program.
