[DISCUSS] Iceberg Summit 2025 ?
Hi folks,
Last year in June we started to discuss the first edition of the Iceberg
Summit (https://lists.apache.org/thread/cbgx1jlc9ywn618yod2487g498lgrkt3).
The Iceberg Summit was in May 2024, and it was clearly a great community
event, with a lot of nice talks.
This first edition was fully virtual.
I think it would be great to have Iceberg Summit 2025, community event, but
maybe this time a hybrid event.
Also, regarding the number of talks received by the selection committee for
Iceberg Summit 2024, I would suggest (for the future Selection Committee)
to have new talk tracks (like user stories, practitioners, ...).
The process would be similar of Iceberg Summit 2024:
- first the community discuss here about the idea, kind of event (virtual,
in person, hybrid), ...
* should we have another event ?
* would you like there to be an in-person event ?
* what kind of talks would you like to hear at such an event ?
* what kind of talks would you not like to hear at such an event ?
- if there's no objections, the Iceberg PMC should approve the use of
Iceberg and the ASF VP M&P should be notified. I can help on the paperwork
and process again.
- the PMC will appoint two committees (at least selection and sponsoring
committees)
Thoughts ?
Regards
JB

Regarding content, we can have multiple tracks.
- technology deep dive: how things work internally especially with new
features and innovations
- ecosystem: interesting learnings and development from ecosystem
integrations
- use cases: success story, learnings, limitations from different industries

Super excited about this, and +1 for a hybrid event!
Wearing my AWS hat, I would definitely like to help with discussions around
sponsorship (together with Rich) to see how we can best contribute to the
process of making the hybrid event happen. We can discuss more about those
topics as we officially kick start the summit preparation process.
Best,
Jack Ye

This is great!
I'd prefer a hybrid event - so +1 on making Iceberg Summit 2025 happen!
Maybe US East Coast?
Topics: I think, a good amount should be around the ecosystem / related
projects, the "big" new features, but also fundamentals like "how do
these things work" and best practices.
Personally, I'm not so much interested in user stories, more in good
tech stuff.

Hi Rich,
I think we have the numbers via both Sponsoring Committee (from 2024)
and the "producer". Let me collect that for you.

I know it's far too early to ask this question for 2025, but could someone share with me numbers from 2024 (specifically sponsorship costs, and estimated attendance) to make it easier to pitch this for my team's 2025 budget planning? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
The preferred format is hybrid and we have new talks tracks possible.
I will prepare the formal proposal to submit to PMC for approval and
organization.
Thanks again,

Re: [DISCUSS] Iceberg Summit 2025 ?
Posted by Sung Yun <su...@gmail.com>.
Hi JB, thank you for starting this thread!
I’m already very excited at the prospect of connecting with other members
of the community. I think it would be nice to organize one next year given
the success of the 2024 Summit.
> should we have another event ?
Yes! Definitely
> would you like there to be an in-person event ?
I would personally love for there to be an in-person event. However, I
recognize that it would require much more planning to organize in addition
to facilitating the virtual portion.
> what kind of talks would you like to hear at such an event ?
I think topics like Upcoming Features, and Production Use cases cover a
good mix of interests.
If we have the time, I think including some introductory sections that
explain more basic concepts or walkthroughs would be helpful as well.
Despite the wealth of documentations, one thing we keep hearing from users
of all facets of Iceberg is that getting started with Iceberg can be
challenging.
I think the Summit can be a natural place to host these sessions as a
starting point for some of our users so they have an easier time joining
the community.
> what kind of talks would you not like to hear at such an event ?
I’m also not keen on having Sales pitches, as I think it would be important
for the project to remain vendor neutral

+1 to hybrid event with an in-person element.
Things I like to see:
* Real-world experience from companies running Iceberg at scale
* Iceberg catalogs and how it's used
* Integrations with open-source projects in the broader ecosystem
* Forward-looking statements for the direction of the Iceberg ecosystem
* Workshops, both for introduction to Iceberg and how to contribute
Looking forward to the summit! And happy to help in any way.
Best,
Kevin

Thank you, JB, for taking the initiative to get the conversation started
for the next Iceberg Summit!
I’m really excited to see the community considering a hybrid event for
2025. Having the option for in-person interaction would definitely enhance
the sense of connection among contributors and users, but maintaining the
virtual option is essential for inclusivity. A hybrid format seems like a
great way to reach as many people as possible.
I echo the points on broadening the range of talks, especially around user
stories and practitioners working with Iceberg in production. Hearing about
real-world implementations and use cases is always insightful. Workshops
would be a fantastic addition too, particularly for onboarding new users
and contributors.
I agree we should stay focused on Iceberg and its ecosystem, making the
event as vendor-neutral and transparent as possible.
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves, and happy to help with anything
along the way!

Hi
Meeting in person is always the best, but online is much more inclusive.
So +1 for a hybrid event.

+1 from me as well, I would love to attend an in person/hybrid iceberg
summit. Workshops seem like a perfect way to help the community.

+1 on hosting another Iceberg Summit in 2025! We had many great talks last
time, and I think it will be even better if we can have a hybrid mode this
time, as the in-person element can add value for deeper engagement and
networking.
I’m particularly interested in incorporating workshops. We could offer them
at different levels—introductory, intermediate, and advanced—so
participants can attend sessions that best fit their background and
interests. Covering topics like basic usage, ecosystem integrations,
advanced features, and different language implementations would help
participants explore various aspects of the Iceberg project in a hands-on
way.
Looking forward to more ideas from the community and happy to help where
needed!
Best regards,
Honah

Re: [DISCUSS] Iceberg Summit 2025 ?
Posted by Russell Spitzer <ru...@gmail.com>.
I am really excited about the prospect of another Summit and also had a
great time last year. I think we had a great selection of talks and I'm
hoping we can do so again.
I'm very much in support of having an in person element, I would love to
have a chance to talk face to face with other members of the community. I
do think we should
preserve online viewing as well since I know not everyone has the ability
to travel.
I do hope that we can have more talks about users with Iceberg in
production as well. I think we did a really good job of covering Iceberg
development last time but didn't
have as many practitioner discussions as I would have liked. I also think
it would be great if we had a section that was purely just "ideas for
Iceberg" where folks can pitch
their features and proposals to a much broader audience.
I also would love to have some workshops this time as well, showing folks
how to use the project, how to make their first tables, and how to
contribute to the Iceberg project.
Things I'd like to avoid: Sales pitches, Talks not focused on Iceberg or
its ecosystem (Personally I don't really want to hear anything about AI or
LLMS but I know that might not be everyone). Ideally I would like this to
be a vendor neutral event where planning is as transparent as possible for
the community.
I'd love to hear what other folks are thinking,
Russ
