Chill Data Summit On Tour Bay Area

Welcome to the Chill Data Summit: Ready for Impact, Iceberg Edition!   Chill because it's all about Apache IcebergTM. Chill because it’s in New York in February. But most importantly, chill because it’ll be the most laidback conference you’ve ever been to.The Chill Data Summit is about learning new technology together. No vendor booths, no parallel tracks competing for your attention. Just informative talks and actionable how-tos from experts in Iceberg, sprinkled with interactive and networking breaks to stay alert for maximal learning.   This one-day inaugural summit will prepare you for the imminent impact of the data world with Iceberg, and empower you to have the greatest impact when—not if—your team makes the switch to the open Data Lakehouse. 2024 promises to take Iceberg head-on, we are getting Ready for Impact!

The hardest problem in computer science is neither naming things nor off by one errors. It’s talking to other people.

I have the 14 inch macbook pro at the new job and my main complaint is there is less room for stickers than the 16 inch.

A voté!
