About VLDB 2026
VLDB 2026, the 52nd International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, takes place August 31–September 4, 2026 at The Westin Boston Seaport in Boston. The conference draws roughly 1,200 attendees and spans database systems research from storage engines to distributed data management.
Who should attend
The audience is database systems researchers, storage and data infrastructure engineers, and cloud data platform vendors.
Why it matters
VLDB carries a substantial body of work on storage engines and I/O paths that later shows up in production systems. For data infrastructure practitioners, it is one of the most direct sources of new technique ahead of commercial adoption.
