**First Talk**
**Language:** English
**Title**: "The art of structuring real-time data streams into actionable insights"

**Abstract**:
**Real-time data can be messy, unpredictable, and hard to manage.** To unlock its full potential, you need a way to turn raw streams into clean, structured data. In this talk, we’ll show you how to use Apache Kafka, **Apache Flink,** and **Apache Pinot** to organize *real-time data streams efficiently and prepare them for advanced use cases.*

We’ll start by explaining how **Kafka handles** high-speed data streams and how Flink processes these streams in real time. You’ll learn to use **Flink to transform raw data into structured formats,** ensuring it’s ready for storage and analysis. Then, we’ll see how to sink the data into Apache Pinot and query the data.

Through clear examples, we’ll walk you through **building a practical pipeline** that turns chaotic data streams into organized schemas. By the end of the session, you’ll know how to manage real-time data effectively and set the stage for downstream AI and analytics.
**Duration**: 30 minutes
**Speech Level:** **Beginner**
