Apache Flink® Meetup Vienna
Data After Dark: Real-Time Challenges in Finance
About the Evening
The financial industry needs to move faster than ever. Fraud detection in milliseconds. Real-time risk. Instant payments.
Streaming data is no longer a nice-to-have; it's infrastructure. And building it right is hard.
Most of the war stories never make it to the big stage, so we're creating a room where they can.
Ververica invites a small, carefully selected group of BFSI leaders for an intimate, off-the-record evening in Vienna. Honest conversations. Shared challenges. The people actually solving them.
Who's in the Room
This is not a conference. It's a curated gathering for:
-
Data & Engineering leaders from banks, insurers, and fintech
-
Architects and platform owners building real-time systems
-
Decision-makers navigating the move from batch to streaming
If you're dealing with the complexity of real-time data at scale in financial services, you belong here.
Why You Should Come
The keynotes are fine. But the real value? It's in the room.
This evening is designed around you — your challenges, your peers, your questions. Expect candid conversations with people who get it, a format that actually creates connections (not just business cards), and zero vendor pitch energy.
-
Peer-level conversations with senior BFSI tech leaders
-
Honest insights from a real production environment
-
A networking format built for depth, not small talk
-
Intimate setting — max 30 people, no big stage, no fluff
