Apache Roadshow

Intentionally intimate, APACHE ROADSHOWS OFFER UNPARALLELED EDUCATIONAL, networking, and collaboration opportunities. While core technologies explored at APACHE ROADSHOW EVENTS ARE FROM THE APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, our content is not limited to only APACHE PROJECTS. The goal for ROADSHOWS IS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE CORE APACHE PROJECTS ARE BEING INCORPORATED INTO LARGER SOLUTIONS IN PRODUCTION. The Seattle APACHE ROADSHOW IS A PLACE TO DISCOVER THE LATEST INNOVATIONS IN DATA AND ANALYTICS, ML and AI, Java and the JVM, Cloud, Containers, Servers, and Web Frameworks in a collaborative, vendor-neutral environment.An Apache Roadshow is a regional event that is smaller than the annual worldwide ApacheCon events held by The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Roadshow events focus on building local communities around key technologies. Since Apache is a vendor neutral foundation, Roadshows offer an opportunity to look for collaborative opportunities in shared open source components, even with those who we normally view as competitors. The event consists of one day of unconference, one day of scheduled sessions, and a third day of networking, unconference and hackathons. This third day will be what you, the attendees, make it - be ready to find your next hire / employer, demo why we should care about your company, engage us in the next open source project that will take over our hearts and minds, or tell us about what you learned about the digital divide last time you were on vacation. Unconferences are unpredictable, but always fruitful. Speakers at the Seattle Apache Roadshow are hand-picked to provide a strong cross-section of the industry. We aim to bring some of the key thought leaders in the space to meet and directly engage with local Seattle and Pacific Northwestern influencers. The focus of the Roadshow events is to grow the number of connections between people and projects so that our open source communities grow stronger.
