Agenda Announced for Spark Summit 2016 in San Francisco

[Scott walent <sc...@gmail.com>]

Spark Summit 2016 (www.spark-summit.org/2016) will be held from June 6-8 at
the Union Square Hilton in San Francisco, and the recently released agenda
features a stellar lineup of community talks led by top engineers,
architects, data scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and analysts from
UC Berkeley, Duke, Microsoft, Netflix, Oracle, Bloomberg, Viacom, Airbnb,
Uber, CareerBuilder and, of course, Databricks. There’s also a full day of
hands-on Spark training, with courses for both beginners and advanced
users.

As the excitement around Spark continues to grow, and the rapid adoption
rate shows no signs of slowing down, Spark Summit is growing, too. More
than 2,500 participants are expected at the San Francisco conference,
making it the largest event yet.

Join us in June to learn more about data engineering and data science at
scale, spend time with other members of the Spark community, attend
community meetups, revel in social activities associated with the Summit,
and enjoy the beautiful city by the bay.

Developer Day: (June 7)
Aimed at a highly technical audience, this day will focus on topics about
Spark dealing with memory management, performance, optimization, scale, and
integration with the ecosystem, including dedicated tracks and sessions
covering:
- Keynotes focusing on what’s new with Spark, where Spark is heading, and
technical trends within Big Data
- Five technical tracks, including Developer, Data Science, Spark
Ecosystem, Use Cases & Experiences, and Research
- Office hours from the Spark project leads at the Expo Hall Theater

Enterprise Day: (June 8)
For anyone interested in understanding how Spark is used in the enterprise,
this day will include:
- Keynotes from leading vendors contributing to Spark and enterprise use
cases
- Full day-long track of enterprise talks featuring use cases and a vendor
panel
- Four technical tracks for continued learning from Developer Day

With more than 90 sessions, you’ll be able to pick and choose the topics
that best suit your interests and expertise.
