DuckCon #3 in San Francisco
We are excited to hold our first "DuckCon" DuckDB user group meeting outside of Europe in San Francisco. The meeting will take place in the afternoon of June 29th. The meeting will be held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), in the Phyllis Wattis Theater.
In DuckCon #3, we (again) have a talk from DuckDB creators Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt about the current state of DuckDB and future plans. Side note: Hannes will also speak at the Data + AI Summit earlier that day.
We are also excited to have talks by Lloyd Tabb, the creator of Google's Malloy project and Josh Wills, the creator of the dbt-duckdb package.
In addition, we will have several lightning talks from DuckDB users.
