Introducing Current 2022: The Next Generation of Kafka Summit

Current 2022: The Next Generation of Kafka Summit was announced as a broader conference for the data streaming ecosystem, scheduled for October 4–5, 2022, at the Austin Convention Center. Designed for developers, architects, and technical executives, the event aimed to provide a shared venue for discussing technologies, practices, and experiences involving data in motion across different technology stacks. Apache Kafka content would remain central through Kafka Summit, while the expanded Current format would include the wider streaming landscape. The call for papers was open, and early sponsors included AWS, Databricks, Google, MongoDB, and Slower. The page also promotes Confluent resources and links to later updates on Current’s 2026 plans and the 2025 Current New Orleans event, which emphasized context-rich data streams for AI.
