[Discuss] Beam Summit 2020 Dates & locations
Hi Beam Community!
I'd like to kick off a thread to discuss potential dates and venues for the
2020 Beam Summits.
I did some research on industry conferences happening in 2020 and
pre-selected a few ranges as follows:
(2 days) NA between mid-May and mid-June
(2 days) EU mid October
(1 day) Asia Mini Summit: March
I'd like to hear your thoughts on these dates and get consensus on exact
dates as the convo progresses.
For locations these are the options I reviewed:
*NA: *Austin Texas, Berkeley California, Mexico City.
*Europe: *Warsaw, Barcelona, Paris
Asia: Singapore
Let the discussion begin!

I've added some Geo information to the Beam GA report[1]. In my opinion, it
makes sense to target cities with the largest existing Beam presence (along
with, perhaps, places where people can travel easily).
- London and Paris are the top cities in Europe for visits to the Beam
site, so I feel that Paris could be a good location.
- In the US, NY is the largest single city, but if we count all of the
Silicon Valley locations near the top, then both NYC and Bay Area are very
large (Bay Area comes out on top).
- For Asia, I guess it's a little tricky. Are community members aware of
meetups that have been organized in Asia? We could try to work backwards
from that evidence of 'community engagement', and see if there are some
outstanding locations. In the GA report, Japan, China, India are all very
large - Bangalore is the second largest city globally for visits to the
Beam site. +Reza Rokni <re...@google.com> thoughts?

We are working on it. Identifying initial funding sources and other bits
necessary to help make this happen.

Hi all,
Did we come to a consensus on dates and locations for the summits?
Particularly interested in the North America Summit.

Probably, it would make sense to wait a bit for October (or September) dates since the dates of ApacheCon 2020 have not been officially set and announced yet, afaik.

Sounds good to me. IMO, October 12-13 for Europe is better, in between
related flink and spark summits.

Maria put together this documents with related industry conferences [1], it
would make sense to choose a time that doesn't conflict with other events
around projects close to Beam.
How about for June 21-22 (around Spark Summit) for North America, and
October 5-6 or October 12-13 for Europe?

+1 for better organization. I would have gone to ApacheCon LV had I known
there was going to be a Beam summit there.

I agree with your point Max and I believe that it would be more efficient to run Beam Summit as a “standalone" event (as it was done in London and Berlin) which will allow us to attract mostly Beam-oriented/interested/focused audience comparing to running this as part of ApacheCon or any other large conferences where are many other different topics and tracks.

Definitively! Despite the fact that users opinion is a key point here, it will not be so easy to get not-biased statistics in this question.
The time frames are also very important since holidays in different countries (for example, August is traditionally a "vacation month" in France and some other European countries) can effect people availability and influent the final number of participants in the end.

Hi,
I think doing something in Asia later in the year would be very cool, I
think given there has not yet been a lot of formal activity there, we
should give plenty of time to ensure good local sponsorship etc...

Re: [Discuss] Beam Summit 2020 Dates & locations
Posted by Maximilian Michels <mx...@apache.org>.
The dates sounds good to me. I agree that the bay area has an advantage
because of its large tech community. On the other hand, it is a question
of how we run the event. For Berlin we managed to get about 200
attendees to Berlin, but for the BeamSummit in Las Vegas with ApacheCon
the attendance was much lower.
Should this also be discussed on the user mailing list?

For date wise, I'm wondering why we should switching the Europe and NA one,
this would mean that the Berlin and the new EU summit would be almost 1.5
years apart.

I prefer bay are for NA summit. My reasoning is that there is a criticall
mass of contributors and users in that location, probably more than
alternative NA locations. I was not involved with planning recently and I
do not know if there were people who could attend due to location
previously. If that is the case, I agree with Elliotte on looking for other
options.
Related to dates: March (Asia) and mid-May (NA) dates are a bit close.
Mid-June for NA might be better to spread events. Other pieces looks good.

The U.S. sadly is not a reliable destination for international
conferences these days. Almost every conference I go to, big and
small, has at least one speaker, sometimes more, who can't get into
the country. Canada seems worth considering. Vancouver, Montreal, and
Toronto are all convenient.

> Hi Beam Community!
>
> I'd like to kick off a thread to discuss potential dates and venues for the 2020 Beam Summits.
>
> I did some research on industry conferences happening in 2020 and pre-selected a few ranges as follows:
>
> (2 days) NA between mid-May and mid-June
> (2 days) EU mid October
> (1 day) Asia Mini Summit: March
>
> I'd like to hear your thoughts on these dates and get consensus on exact dates as the convo progresses.
>
> For locations these are the options I reviewed:
>
> NA: Austin Texas, Berkeley California, Mexico City.
> Europe: Warsaw, Barcelona, Paris
> Asia: Singapore
>
> Let the discussion begin!
