Update: the recordings for Flink Forward Global 2020 are now available on Youtube! 🎥
Rain or shine...
... October in Berlin means one thing: Flink Forward. For the second time this year, we're hosting a virtual conference for the Flink community (old and new!) to mingle, share and learn about the latest in Apache Flink.
Here's what you can expect:
// Keynotes from Epic Games, LinkedIn, Citigroup, Ververica and Alibaba
// Roadmap updates and deep-dives from the core Flink maintainers
// Live sessions and Q&A with companies like Netflix, Spotify, Pinterest and Stripe
// Interactive coding sessions (incl. a live code contribution to Flink!)
// And, of course, Flink Fest! :beers:
The conference runs from 8:00 PDT/17:00 CEST to 13:30 PDT/22:30 CEST
Putting together a schedule that maximizes what you can * see is always a puzzling task, so I'll share with you some of the talks I've added to mine!
You can find the complete program on the Flink Forward website.
