Join the Excitement at Current 2023: Unmissable Keynotes and 5 Must-Attend Sessions
Blog post from Confluent
Current 2023: The Next Generation of Kafka Summit, held September 26–27 in San Jose, was presented as a two-day data streaming conference featuring more than 100 sessions, networking, technical training, certifications, and community events. Its keynotes were expected to cover the evolution of data streaming platforms, Confluent product developments, customer use cases, generative AI applications, and open-source Kafka and Flink work. Recommended sessions addressed applying data mesh principles to operational and analytical data, real-time machine learning, Flink SQL challenges such as late data and change events, declarative streaming pipelines using Flink and Kubernetes, and Robinhood’s Kafka consumer proxy for separating infrastructure concerns from application logic. Additional programming included informal technical meetups, industry lunches, an AWS GameDay workshop, diversity and inclusion events, and a virtual Streaming Pass for remote attendees.
