PALO ALTO, Calif.—April 21, 2016—Confluent, founded by the original creators of Apache™ Kafka®, today announced the final lineup of speakers and sponsors for the inaugural Kafka Summit, set to take place on April 26 at the Hilton Union Square in San Francisco. Marking the height of fruitful collaboration for the Apache Kafka community, Kafka Summit will offer more than 500 attending community members the opportunity to learn about how companies are using Kafka today for large-scale, real-time data integration and stream processing in a variety of applications, and hear about where project development is headed in the future.

The one-day conference is filled with a total of 29 sessions, including keynotes from Jay Kreps, one of Kafka’s original co-creators and the CEO and co-founder of Confluent, who will speak on “The Rise of Real-Time,” and Aaron Schildkrout, head of marketing and data at Uber, who will present on “Kafka + Uber: The World’s Real-Time Transit Infrastructure.”

“Real-time data isn’t just a high-tech phenomenon–Apache Kafka has reached a pivotal moment and is being used as a central platform for managing stream data in organizations across many industries, making real-time data a reality for enterprises large and small,” said Kreps. “We’re excited to hear from everyone at the conference about how they’re using Kafka to build real-time applications to integrate their data systems, derive new insights and make better decisions, faster.”

About Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is an open source technology that acts as a real-time, fault tolerant, highly scalable messaging system. It is widely adopted for use cases ranging from collecting user activity data, logs, application metrics, stock ticker data and device instrumentation. Its key strength is its ability to make high volume data available as a real-time stream for consumption in systems with very different requirements—from batch systems like Hadoop, to real-time systems that require low-latency access, to stream processing engines that transform the data streams as they arrive. This infrastructure lets you build around a single central nervous system transmitting messages to all the different systems and applications within a company.
