DISCUSSION: DataFusion Meetup in Stockholm, Sweden

[alamb]

I think there are several DataFusion contributors in the Stockholm area -- @Max-Meldrum , @emilk @iffyio come to mind

I was thinking it be nice to organize a meetup in Stockholm area to bring the community together.

I would be willing to help organize speakers and a program for such an event

[Max-Meldrum]

This sounds great -- I’d be happy to help out in any way I can.

[timsaucer]

This would be nice to attend if it overlaps with one of the times our company meets up in Stockholm @emilk

[Dandandan]

Let me know about the timing, I will consider speaking for such event if I can arrange things!

[alamb]

That is great news! -- @Max-Meldrum and I are going to discuss timing with the venue next week -- December is probably too close, so I am imagining it would be in 2026 sometime. Maybe March 🤔 Stay tuned

[alamb]

@Dandandan our time is Date: Thursday March 5, 2026: 17:30 - 20:00

If you are willing and able to present (15 minute talk) please let me know -- we are looking for speakers!

[Dandandan]

I am willing to present, just need to check whether the date WFM and I can arrange travel

[alamb]

Awesome -- thanks -- I'll put you down tentatively

[adriangb]

I can't promise to attend but am certainly interested!

We are, of course, also looking for speakers 🎣

[adriangb]

I have to sort out my travels but in principle I think I should be able to attend and speak if desired (although I spoke recently so would give priority to other speakers).

Oh, I just checked this page - I'll check if I can be there (and do a lightning talk) March 5!

[matthewmturner]

@alamb is there room for more speakers? i think we have two people who could each give a talk (still tentative, but thats what its looking like). we can finalize that soon though if it would work out.

[alamb]

yes of course -- we always would love more speakers. Please have them email me and I'll get them on the list -- [email protected]
