Where in the World is Elasticsearch: Berlin Buzzwords Edition
Welcome to the latest edition of Where in the World is Elasticsearch. For this week, the answer is largely "at Berlin Buzzwords"! If you're joining us in Berlin, there's a full docket of Elasticsearch content on offer at the conference. If you're not, no worries - the conference organizers will be taping and publishing all of these sessions for your later enjoyment and edification. Plus, we've got Bulgaria Web Summit at the end of the week and plenty of meetup goodness worldwide. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the shows!
Berlin Buzzwords
Now in its 5th edition, Berlin Buzzwords brings together experts in all of our favorite buzzwords: cloud, search, storage, scale and beyond. The conference runs from May 25-26th in Berlin at Kulturbraurei, capping off with hackathons running in various locations throughout the city on Wednesday, the 27th.
When you're not attending sessions, you can visit us anytime at the Elasticsearch stand in the Palais Building, where we can offer you knowledge, swag and delicious smoothies!
