Chill Data Summit

Knowledge sharing for the Apache Iceberg community.

We started 2024 with our kick-off event in New York City, in February. Our lucky attendees enjoyed a keynote from Apache Iceberg founder, Ryan Blue, alongside talks from industry heavyweights including Joe Reis, Benn Stancil, Tim Meehan, and Alex Merced.

The Chill Data Summit was such a success that we decided to take the show around the world. We planned a tour to bring further Iceberg learning to the community by offering a morning of talks, followed by a hands-on workshop led by an Apache Iceberg expert. And our attendees loved it!
