Data After Dark: Streaming Data Challenges. Austin Edition
Data practitioners don't solve hard problems in isolation. They solve them in rooms like this one.
About the Evening
Ververica hosts Data After Dark in cities across the globe, bringing together the engineers, architects, and data leaders who build and run real-time infrastructure. No keynotes. No vendor theatre. Just the community, in one room, talking about what actually matters.
Who belongs here:
Data and platform engineers
Who are working in streaming or real-time infrastructure
Architects and technical leads
Who evaluates modern data platforms.
Anyone in the Austin
Who is interested in data processing looking to build real connections

What's on:
A Ververica engineer opens with Apache Flink® in production. What works, what doesn't, and what's next. He’ll end with a sneak preview of the latest with Apache Fluss. Then a guest speaker from the community takes the floor. Speaker announcement coming soon.
After that, the room takes over. No agenda. Just the people who build and run data infrastructure.
Drinks and food covered. Capacity is limited — register now. (opens in new tab)
