+
+The third annual Flink Forward San Francisco is just a few weeks away! As
always, the Flink Forward will be the right place to meet and mingle with
experienced Flink users, contributors, and committers. Attendees will hear and
chat about the latest developments around Flink and learn from technical
deep-dive sessions and exciting use cases that were put into production with
Flink. The event will take place on April 1-2, 2019 at Hotel Nikko in San
Francisco. The [program committee](https: [...]
+
+Some highlights of the program are:
+
+* [Realtime Store Visit Predictions at
Scale](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program#realtime-store-visit-predictions-at-scale):
Luca Giovagnoli from *Yelp* will talk about a "multidisciplinary" Flink
application that combines geospatial clustering algorithms, Machine Learning
models, and cutting-edge stream-processing technology.
+
+* [Real-time Processing with Flink for Machine Learning at
Netflix](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program#real-time-processing-with-flink-for-machine-learning-at-netflix):
Elliot Chow will discuss the practical aspects of using Apache Flink to power
Machine Learning algorithms for video recommendations, search results ranking,
and selection of artwork images at *Netflix*.
+
+* [Building production Flink jobs with Airstream at
Airbnb](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program#building-production-flink-jobs-with-airstream-at-airbnb):
Pala Muthiah and Hao Wang will reveal how *Airbnb* builds real time data
pipelines with Airstream, Airbnb's computation framework that is powered by
Flink SQL.
+
+* [When Table meets AI: Build Flink AI Ecosystem on Table
API](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program#when-table-meets-ai--build-flink-ai-ecosystem-on-table-api):
Weihua Jiang from *Alibaba* will discuss how they are building a solid AI
ecosystem for unified batch/streaming Machine Learning data pipelines on top of
Flink's Table API.
+
+* [Adventures in Scaling from Zero to 5 Billion Data Points per
Day](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program#adventures-in-scaling-from-zero-to-5-billion-data-points-per-day):
Dave Torok will take us through *Comcast's* journey in scaling the company's
operationalized Machine Learning framework from the very early days in
production to processing more than 5 billion data points per day.
+
+If you're new to Apache Flink or want to deepen your knowledge around the
framework, Flink Forward features again a full day of training.
+
+You can choose from 3 training tracks:
+
+* [Introduction to Streaming with Apache
Flink](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/training-program#introduction-to-streaming-with-apache-flink):
A hands-on, in-depth introduction to stream processing and Apache Flink, this
course emphasizes those features of Flink that make it easy to build and manage
accurate, fault tolerant applications on streams.
+
+* [Analyzing Streaming Data with Flink
SQL](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/training-program#analyzing-streaming-data-with-flink-sql):
In this hands-on training, you will learn what it means to run SQL queries on
data streams and how to fully leverage the potential of SQL on Flink. We'll
also cover some of the more recent features such as time-versioned joins and
the MATCH RECOGNIZE clause.
+
+* [Troubleshooting and Operating Flink at large
scale](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/training-program#apache-flink-troubleshooting---operations):
In this training, we will focus on everything you need to run Apache Flink
applications reliably and efficiently in production including topics like
capacity planning, monitoring, troubleshooting and tuning Apache Flink.
+
+If you haven't done so yet, check out the [full
schedule](http://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/conference-program) and
[register](https://sf-2019.flink-forward.org/register) your attendance. <br>
+I'm looking forward to meet you at Flink Forward San Francisco.
