DISCUSSION: Apache DataFusion New York Meetup May 2026

[adriangb]

Last NYC meetup (#10343) was a great success, I think ~6 months later is a great time to do another one!

@gene-bordegaray and I will be organizing, we'll host at DataDog again.

This meetup is scheduled for May 12th at 5:30pm, here are the links:

Feel free to put yourself down as speakers if you plan to speak. Once we have some idea of how much interest there is in speakers we'll sort out how much time each speaker gets / if we can fit everyone in.

May 12 or 13 will be better for me

I'd love to give a talk about executing DataFusion on GPUs, so count me in as a speaker.

Okay great, let's lock in May 12th! I'll put together the Luma event and start a speaker list this week :)
