The Inaugural Druid Summit, April 13-15, 2020, San Francisco Airport Waterfront Marriott

February 27, 2020 By admin

Imply, the real-time data analytics company, today announced its speaker line-up for the inaugural Druid Summit, to be held at the San Francisco Airport Waterfront Marriott from April 13 through April 15, 2020. The conference is devoted to helping data professionals develop, deploy and operate real-time analytics solutions based on the open source Apache Druid database.

Hosted by Imply, whose founders include original authors of Druid, Druid Summit is a three-day conference that features a full day of hands-on Druid training plus two days of talks by project committers, enterprise practitioners and industry experts covering development methods, architectural patterns, operational best practices, and much more.

“The response to our call for presentations has been gratifying, as both the passion and diversity of the Apache Druid community has been on display,” Gian Merlino, cofounder of Imply. “We will have speakers from four continents, representing numerous use cases and industries. I encourage anyone using or curious about Druid to attend and learn from these established experts.”

Druid Summit will include speakers from a wide range of industries including retail, banking, telecoms, internet/e-commerce, gaming, entertainment and media, logistics, transportation and manufacturing.

The analytics use cases examined cover a number of operational functions including advertising, customer segmentation, network performance, IoT, security, service monitoring, supply chain and user behavior.

Here’s a sampling of some of the presentations on the agenda at Druid Summit:
