Kafka Summit London 2023: Level Up Your Kafka Experience!
Blog post from Confluent
Kafka Summit London 2023, held at ExCeL London, offered two days of Apache Kafka-focused programming including technical breakouts, panels, lightning talks, community meetups, and more than 60 sessions across five simultaneous tracks. Program Committee Chair Danica Fine advised attendees to choose sessions by technology interests, industries, and companies, highlighting topics such as Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect exactly-once semantics, Apache Flink pipelines, event-driven tracing, and real-world implementations. The event also expanded networking and learning opportunities through a 5K fun run, a community meetup hub, Kafka fundamentals training and certification, a day-one party featuring live-coded music, and Birds-of-a-Feather lunches for Women in Technology and Financial Services. Attendees could follow and share updates online using #KafkaSummit, while virtual registrants could access livestreamed keynotes and a session track; recordings would later be made freely available.
