DET Bay Area Meetup: September Edition
The DET Bay Area Meetup rolls on! After sold-out July and August editions, we're back on Thursday, September 24 — this time at LinkedIn's headquarters in Sunnyvale. Expect an evening of technical talks, a delicious buffet dinner catered on site, and a room full of the Bay Area's data engineering community.
📍 LinkedIn HQ, Sunnyvale, CA
🗓️ Thursday, September 24, 5:00–8:30 PM
Before You RSVP
👋🏼 Please only register if you genuinely plan to attend in person. Due to high demand and long waitlists at past events, we track no-shows of registered attendees, and no-shows will affect your eligibility to attend future events.

Call for Proposals
Interested in speaking? We have full-length talk slots and, new this month, lightning talks — perfect if you've got one sharp idea and 5–10 minutes of story. Submit a proposal here: https://meetup.dataengineerthings.org/cfp. DET is an educational community, so we're looking for technical, vendor-neutral talks.
