On May 13-14, RICON East will take place in New York City – with tickets still available here. RICON is Riak’s series of distributed system conferences for developers. We first launched RICON last October at the sold out San Francisco show. This year, we have three conferences scheduled across the globe, with the first in New York.
RICON East will bring together developers, engineers, architects, and scientists to discuss Riak, as well as key emerging research areas and approaches to solving the challenges faced by the industry today.
Earlier this week, the confirmed speaker line-up was released and can be found here. Here’s a look at some of the speakers:
- Dr. Margo L. Seltzer, Professor at Harvard University
