Data Streaming Summit 2026

Data Streaming Summit is a leading conference focused on the technologies, architectures, and communities shaping the future of streaming data and agent Infrastructure. Originally launched as Pulsar Summit, the event has evolved into a broader ecosystem gathering covering modern data streaming technologies including Pulsar, Kafka, Ursa, and other Kafka-compatible solutions, along with stream processing frameworks such as Flink, Spark, RisingWave, and more. In 2026, the summit expands its focus with the theme Data Streaming + Agent Infrastructure, exploring how streaming data powers modern AI systems, intelligent applications, autonomous agents, and next-generation data platforms. The summit brings together developers, architects, data engineers, AI practitioners, and technical leaders to share ideas, learn from production use cases, and connect with the broader streaming and AI community.
