Talks

1st talk

For the first talk, we welcome Jean-Baptiste Onofre (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jean-baptiste-onofr%C3%A9-a0739317/), fellow and software architect at Talend. As an ASF member and contributor to ~20 Apache projects, giving talks at Strata, and being one of the initial committers on the Beam project (as well as being a PMC member on project), JB will give us a sneak peak into the use cases for Beam at Talend and what Talend Data Streams are.

2nd talk

Reuven Lax (https://www.linkedin.com/in/reuven-lax-a82818/), senior software engineer at Google, will go deeper on Beam’s latest features and roadmap in the second talk: how Beam will implement the portability layer and the deeper technical details will be covered, as well as schema support in Beam.

==================
Who should attend

Everyone interested in Data Engineering, Data Science and Machine Learning, who wants to learn about one of the newer and exciting Apache projects focused on batch & stream processing of data. We try to cover both business value as well as digging deeper technically.
