After having to cancel Flink Forward San Francisco 2020, we have been working on delivering the event in an online format instead. We are thrilled to announce our virtual conference, organized for the global Apache Flink and stream processing communities. Join us on April 22-24 to listen in to live & interactive sessions by Google, Godaddy, Netflix, Splunk, Yelp and many more!
