Greetings! August is upon us and we’re organizing insightful yet fun events for you. Our experts will once again be on the road – traveling to San Diego, Silicon Valley, Atlanta and New York City.
But first, I’d like to offer a limited number of half-priced tickets to the In-Memory Computing Summit North America 2018. The conference is happening Oct. 2-3 near the San Francisco International Airport in Burlingame – midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Use the promo code Tom50 at registration and 50 percent will be instantly taken off the price. Register here.
In related news, catch-up on the insightful keynotes and sessions from June's In-Memory Computing Summit Europe by viewing the slides and recordings.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the month ahead.

NYC In-Memory Computing Meetup: GridGain technology evangelist Akmal Chaudhri will be the lead speaker at the Aug. 29 gathering of the NYC In-Memory Computing Meetup. The title of Akmal's talk will be: "Machine and Deep Learning with Apache® Ignite™." Apache Ignite Release 2.4 added built-in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). It not only eliminates any delays caused by transferring data to a different database or store. It delivers near real-time performance by running a variety of ML and DL algorithms in place, in memory, that are optimized for collocated processing.
Aug. 30
New York City PostgreSQL User Group: GridGain technology evangelist Akmal Chaudhri will be the featured speaker at the New York City PostgreSQL User Group's Aug. 30 meetup. The title of his talk will be: "PostgreSQL with Apache Ignite: Faster Transactions and Analytics."
Thanks all for this update. But I'll be back throughout the month for more community news. Stay tuned!
