One week until Flink Forward! -- Info & special announcements

[Caito Scherr]

Hi Everyone,

We have just one week before Flink Forward Global 2021!!

If you (or a friend) still need to register, you can do so here
<https://hopin.com/events/flink-forward-global-2021> for free. Since we’re
virtual, you can join from anywhere in the world.


I am excited to announce that the full schedule is now up, and you can
check it out here
<https://www.flink-forward.org/global-2021/conference-program#>. The lineup
includes 45+ speakers from companies like Splunk, Facebook, AWS, Intesa
Sanpaolo, Reddit and more.

As a special bonus, we also have a free, virtual “Ask Me Anything” meetup
this Thursday (10am PST) where you can get caught up on the newest features
before the conference and ask the committers anything about our newest
release! Sign up here
<https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Flink-Meetup/events/281406310>.


Get ready for 2 days of great talks, as well as live networking, and some
fun games and surprises!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a talk along with our amazing
Program Committee
who helped put this lineup together!
