Today is the day! Welcome to Kafka Summit San Francisco 2017!

We're excited for today's event as a huge number of people have been working hard to bring it to life, including speakers preparing presentations on new Apache Kafka features and production use cases. A pre-Summit gathering took place last night with the community, and we'll be live streaming keynotes starting at 9:00 am PDT featuring Confluent co-founder Neha Narkhede, Stitch Fix's VP of Engineering Randy Shoup, and Salesforce's Pat Helland. Video recordings of all 32 talks will be available in a few weeks, and attendees can download the mobile app for real-time updates throughout the day. The event is part of Current 2024, a gathering of the data streaming world in Austin, Texas on September 17-18, where tech leaders and industry giants will share knowledge on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink.
