Three days of actionable learning on AI-driven data integration, analytics, and governance — early-bird registration now open
Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, has opened registration for Qlik Connect 2026, taking place from April 13–15, 2026, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The annual global forum is designed for enterprises transforming AI and analytics from experiments into measurable business advantage at scale.
The three-day event will feature hands-on labs, executive sessions, and governance workshops, helping attendees turn AI-driven insights into durable enterprise outcomes. Focus areas include AI maturity, predictive analytics, open lakehouse architecture, and the frameworks that make AI trusted, auditable, and explainable.
“AI is no longer a showcase — it’s an operating model. Leaders want to scale what works, fast.”
— Mike Capone, CEO, Qlik
“AI is moving from showcase to operating model,” said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik. “The leaders I meet are aligning capital, talent, and governance to scale what works. They want interoperable systems that connect to their data, produce explainable action, and embed intelligence into daily workflows. Qlik Connect 2026 is built to accelerate that shift.”
The program will bring together industry leaders, data engineers, architects, compliance experts, and C-suite executives, offering a mix of main-stage keynotes, breakout sessions, and certification paths. Hands-on labs will allow participants to build governed pipelines, optimize open lakehouse models, and deploy predictive AI in real-world settings.
“Qlik Connect brought our team together with peers and experts, sparking new ideas and excitement,” shared Gwen Stamp, Associate Director – Technology, Qlik CoE at Raymond James. “We left energized with insights to accelerate our data journey.”
The event follows the general availability of Qlik Open Lakehouse, first previewed at last year’s Connect, underscoring Qlik’s rapid innovation cycle.
Early-bird registration and discounted hotel rates are now available on qlikconnect.com.
