It’s been a busy September for us here in the GridGain and Apache® Ignite™ community. We’ve
been preparing for the In-Memory Computing Summit North America 2018 happening Oct. 2-3 in San
Francisco. I’ll have details on some Ignite and GridGain sessions below.
Meantime, our conference preparations haven’t slowed us down! Our intrepid technology evangelist Akmal Chaudhri has been on the road as part of a European Big Data Meetup roadshow – his stops to date: Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam and London. And next week, he'll be speaking in Oslo.
Let’s take a look at some upcoming events for the rest of the month (and details on in IMC Summit afterwards).
