About this meetup:
This meetup is for any locals interested in Apache Kafka® and data streaming in general. You can be totally new to the topic or an accomplished Data Streaming Engineer - you are welcome regardless! Talks will relate to Confluent, Apache Kafka®, Apache Flink®, stream processing, security, microservices, cloud topics, Kafka Streams, Apache Iceberg®, AI-related topics, and anything else adjacent to the world of data streaming!

Confluent’s Community Meetup Pledge:
Content at all events within the Confluent Community Meetup Network is fully technical, educational, and about technology everyday developers can use, particularly open source projects. Our goal is to provide a safe space for developers to level-up their data streaming prowess and meet likeminded people in their towns/cities. All talks at this event will relate to Kafka, and be useful for Kafka developers.

Our group is your group - get involved!
If you feel inspired to present (no speaking experience required), know of a potential venue, or are ready to champion our group locally, please don't hesitate to say hello at [community@confluent.io](mailto:community@confluent.io)!
