GridGain Releases Conference Schedule for Virtual Apache Ignite Summit 2023

FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 1, 2023 — GridGain, provider of a unified real-time data platform and the company behind Apache Ignite, today announced the conference schedule for Ignite Summit 2023, the global virtual conference for anyone interested in distributed databases, in-memory computing and Apache Ignite. The free global one-day virtual event will take place on June 6, 2023 starting at 4 p.m. Central European Time / 7 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Registration is still available.

Organized by GridGain, Ignite Summit 2023 is designed for developers working with Apache Ignite to address their data speed and scale challenges. Summit presenters will include developers and architects in leading companies who are working on some of the world’s most sophisticated Ignite-powered solutions.

Attendees will hear talks from developers and architects using Apache Ignite to create high-performance applications used by millions of people. Conference sessions will explore use cases, implementation best practices, architectural design, Ignite-in-production environments, and how Ignite has helped address application and business challenges. The virtual Ignite Summit also offers a live Q&A with the speakers and peer-to-peer learning opportunities for both new and advanced users. GridGain experts will also be available throughout the event for “Ask an Expert” sessions.

“From digital transformation to the latest IoT services, to new generative AI use cases, businesses of all sizes must develop the ability to process ever-increasing volumes of data in real or near-real time – or watch their competitors win the innovation battle,” said Lalit Ahuja, SVP of Customer Services for GridGain. “Apache Ignite has proven to be one of the foundational technologies for achieving the required data speed and scale, and the free virtual Ignite Summit is the easiest and most popular way for attendees to learn about the power of Ignite, ask questions from the most experienced Ignite users, and better understand how to optimize their existing Ignite deployment or start a new deployment from scratch.”
