Cassandra Conference, December 6, 2011, New York City
From the call for speakers:
BURLINGAME, Calif. – November 9, 2011 –DataStax, the commercial leader in Apache Cassandra™, along with the NYC Cassandra User Group, NoSQL NYC, and Big Data NYC are joining together to present the first Cassandra New York City conference on December 6. This all day, two-track event will focus on enterprise use cases as well as the latest developments in Cassandra. Early bird registration is now open here.
Coming on the heels of a sold-out DataStax Cassandra SF earlier this year, the event will feature some of the most interesting Cassandra use-cases from up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Cassandra NYC will be keynoted by Jonathan Ellis, chairman of the Apache Cassandra project, who will highlight what’s new in Cassandra 1.0, and what’s in store for the future. Additional confirmed speakers include Nathan Marz, lead engineer for the Storm project at Twitter and Jim Ancona, systems architect at Constant Contact.
“With the recent 1.0 release, we are seeing users doing amazing new things with Cassandra that are going beyond even our expectations and imagination,” said Ellis. “We look forward to sharing these stories with the broader community, to further hasten the adoption and usage of Cassandra to meet their real-time, big data challenges.”
Call for Speakers and Press Registration
The call for speakers is now also open for the event. Submissions can be made to lynnbender@datastax.com.
Press interested in attending the event may contact Zenobia@intersectcom.com for a complimentary press pass.
The event will be held at the Lighthouse International Conference Center on 59th St.
I am not sure about “early bird” registration for an event less than a month away but this sounds quite interesting. I hope the presentations will be recorded and posted for asynchronous access.
