Flink Forward is the conference dedicated to Apache Flink and the stream processing community.
After two successful virtual events in 2020, we are excited to announce Flink Forward Global 2021 on October 26-27!
With stream processing becoming the go-to data processing paradigm for many companies across all industries, we are looking forward to bringing the global Apache Flink community together online to exchange Flink stories and use cases.
Join more than 1,500 software developers, data engineers, software architects, DevOps professionals, and the global Apache Flink community discussing the latest updates in stream processing. Connect and network with fellow Apache Flink enthusiasts, core committers, and PMC members and learn best practices on how to develop real-time event-driven applications.
