In September 2015, Elastic organized a series of events and meetups across Europe, North America, and Australia to engage with users and showcase Elasticsearch applications. Notable events included David Pilato's sessions in Amsterdam and Geneva, focusing on advanced search for legacy applications and hands-on experience with Elasticsearch. In North America, the Elastic User Group Meetups featured discussions on scaling document repositories and utilizing the ELK stack in locations such as New York City, Salt Lake City, and Dallas. European meetups in Paris, Bordeaux, London, and Amsterdam offered workshops and talks on Elasticsearch and related technologies, while the Sydney meetup in Australia catered to the local developer community. These events aimed to foster community interaction and share insights on leveraging Elastic's capabilities, with opportunities for attendees to network and learn from expert speakers. Elastic also encouraged the hosting of meetups and talks, offering support and swag for such initiatives.
