Overview
Datadog Summit Munich 2026 is a free, one-day event taking place on 12 November 2026. It focuses on observability, security, and AI, and is designed for engineering, product, and security teams who want to learn how to monitor, secure, and scale their systems. The summit brings together Datadog experts, customers, and members of the local technology community.
What to Expect
Attendees get a first look at what is new across the Datadog platform. Highlights include Bits AI releases and other expanded agentic capabilities, new security features, and improved data reliability for AI applications. The day is organized around four pillars: observability for the AI era, hands-on learning, networking, and deep dives.
The hands-on learning track consists of technical workshops led by Datadog experts, where participants can pick up new skills, tips, and best practices. The networking component gives attendees the chance to connect with peers, industry leaders, and Datadog experts, exchange ideas, and build professional relationships. The deep dive sessions show how leading companies use Datadog to monitor, secure, and scale their systems, and they offer practical insights into the product, along with opportunities to meet Datadog engineers one-on-one.
