The Vertica Big Data Conference (BDC) is and continues to be such a special event. But what makes it different from any other Big Data Conference? It’s simple. Speakers at the Vertica BDC are Vertica customers from around the globe who tell real world stories plus technical and best practices sessions from our Vertica engineers who design and build the product itself.

This year, the Vertica BDC will be a virtual event, and while nothing will replace the benefits of face-to-face interaction, the virtual BDC does have a great advantage – attendance is FREE and no travel approvals are necessary! You can REGISTER NOW and in the next few days, you’ll receive additional information about how to log in and participate in the virtual BDC.
