The agenda of more than 30 sessions includes
speakers from Apple, Bloomberg, ByteDance, Google, Netflix, NVIDIA,
TenCent and Uber.
Today the Iceberg Summit Selection Committee announced the
lineup of speakers for the first Iceberg Summit: a free, virtual
event being held May 14-15, 2024. Organized by Tabular and Dremio,
and sanctioned by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the Summit
gathers leading data developers and practitioners who have
implemented or are exploring the use of Apache Iceberg, the leading
open table format. The summit will be the first event dedicated to
Apache Iceberg, spanning two days with more than 30 sessions.
Iceberg Summit explores the state and evolution of technology in
the Iceberg project and ecosystem, as well as the real-world
experiences of data practitioners and developers working with
Iceberg. Topics include the Iceberg feature roadmap, new
programming language support, data ingestion, performance
optimization, access control and governance, plus numerous
real-world use cases at up to exabyte scale.
“We are thrilled to have an exceptional lineup of speakers for
the first Iceberg Summit. The response to our call for
presentations was overwhelming, and we could only accept a very
small portion of the submissions,” said Ryan Blue, PMC chair of
Apache Iceberg. “The companies represented at this initial Iceberg
Summit are a testament to the global breadth of adoption the
Iceberg community has sparked, in organizations of all sizes and
across a variety of industries.”
Some of the speakers at Iceberg Summit 2024 include:
- Russell Spitzer - Iceberg PMC member, software engineering
manager, Apple
- Ben Dilday - senior software engineer, Bloomberg
- Yanghao Lin - senior software development engineer,
ByteDance

The full speaker list and agenda can be found on the Iceberg
Summit website.
Apache Iceberg is a high-performance format for huge analytic
tables. Iceberg brings the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables
to big data, while making it possible for engines like Spark,
Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala to safely work with the same
tables, at the same time.
The Iceberg specification has quickly ascended in enterprise
popularity and vendor adoption, with support announced by AWS,
Google, Snowflake, IBM, Cloudera and Confluent within the past 12
months.
“We’re excited to bring together the brightest minds in the
Apache Iceberg community to discuss their experiences and learn
from one another,” said J.B. Onofre, Apache Software Foundation
member and Iceberg contributor. “The growth and vibrancy of the
Iceberg community has been tremendous, and truly exemplifies the
Apache Way.”
