Where and when is Openindex attending Data Expo Utrecht?

Whether you are from e-commerce, finance, real estate, government, or market research, the expo provides a valuable opportunity to have in-depth discussions about your data challenges face to face. Keep an eye on our website for the most up-to-date information on our exact location and schedule at the event.
How can you book a meeting with Openindex at the event?
The easiest way to book a meeting with us at Data Expo Utrecht is to reach out before the event. You can contact us directly through our website to request a time slot that works for both parties. Pre-scheduling ensures you get dedicated, uninterrupted time with the right person from our team rather than hoping to catch us between conversations on the floor.
When requesting a meeting, a short message explaining your organization’s context and the topic you want to discuss goes a long way. It allows us to prepare relevant information and bring the right expertise to the conversation. Walk-in conversations are also welcome, but availability cannot be guaranteed without prior arrangement.
What topics can you discuss with Openindex at Data Expo?
At Data Expo Utrecht, you can discuss a wide range of topics with us related to search technology, data collection, and digital infrastructure. Our team is well-equipped to talk through both technical challenges and strategic questions about data-driven operations.
Common topics visitors bring to us include:
- Building or improving a search engine for a website, intranet, or knowledge base
- Setting up web crawling pipelines for large-scale data collection
- Web scraping solutions for market research, price monitoring, or competitive intelligence
- Crawling as a Service and Data as a Service for organizations that want to outsource data extraction entirely
- API development and integration for feeding structured data into existing applications
- Open source search technologies such as Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, and Apache Nutch
- GDPR compliance and ethical data collection practices
If your topic is not on this list, bring it anyway. Our work spans many industries and use cases, and we are happy to explore whether and how we can help.
Who from the Openindex team will be present at Data Expo?
We send team members with hands-on expertise in search, crawling, and software development to Data Expo Utrecht. The people you meet will not be generalist sales representatives but specialists who understand the technical and strategic dimensions of the challenges you face.
This means you can have substantive conversations from the first minute. Whether your question is about architecture, implementation, data quality, or scalability, the Openindex team members present will be able to engage meaningfully. For specific questions about who will be attending, feel free to ask when you reach out to schedule your meeting.
What should you prepare before meeting Openindex at the expo?
A little preparation before your meeting at Data Expo Utrecht makes the conversation significantly more productive. You do not need a formal brief or technical specification, but having a clear picture of your situation helps us give you relevant, actionable insights on the spot.
Consider thinking through the following before you arrive:
- Your current challenge: What problem are you trying to solve? Is it poor search results, slow data collection, lack of structured data, or something else?
- Your data sources: What types of content or data are involved? Websites, internal documents, product catalogs, or third-party sources?
- Your scale: How many URLs, documents, or records are we talking about? Scale significantly shapes the right technical approach.
- Your timeline: Is this an exploratory conversation or do you have a project starting soon?
- Your team setup: Do you have in-house developers, or are you looking for a fully managed solution?
You do not need answers to all of these. Even a rough sense of one or two points gives us enough to make the meeting genuinely useful for you.
