Skills Matter is pleased to support Cassandra Europe Conference - a one-day conference dedicated to Apache Cassandra taking place in London on March 28th!
Organised by Acunu, this is a packed one-day event with two tracks - 'case studies' and 'Cassandra 101 - beat the learning curve'. If you're using Cassandra and looking for better support or performance tips, or if you're wondering what all the fuss is about and want to learn more, you should attend!
Experts from Acunu will be on hand to share insights and we'll have a drop-in room where attendees can turn up for help and advice with Cassandra problems and to learn more about Acunu.
We'll be tweeting with hashtag #cassandraeu. More details, including speaker line up and ticketing, will be posted very soon. For any comments or questions, contact Konrad Kennedy.
