Spark Saturday 2017 will be held on Saturday, September 16th.

Spark Saturday is an interactive event for users, enthusiasts, and explorers of Apache Spark (www.spark-project.org). Spark is the powerful open source Data processing framework that extends and accelerates Hadoop; built around speed, ease of use, and sophisticated analytics. This is a very interactive event where we will exchange ideas, inspire and learn from each other, and bring the top minds and innovators around big data and Spark to the table. This event is meant for both the business and technical community (both the curious and the experts) interested in the “how” and the “why” of Spark’s capabilities. The event will include technical discussions on Spark, case studies from current users, best practices for deployment, and speakers from the top technology leaders and vendors who are helping craft Spark’s roadmap for the future.
