About the event
As the premier event dedicated to Apache Iceberg, Iceberg Summit 2026 brings together leaders in data engineering, cloud architecture, and analytics to share real-world experiences and shape the future of data infrastructure.
Iceberg Summit is an Apache Software Foundation–sanctioned event, reflecting the collaborative spirit of open source and the growing importance of open table formats in modern data stacks
What is Apache Iceberg™?
Apache Iceberg is a high-performance table format for huge analytic datasets. It brings the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data while enabling multiple engines—including Apache Spark™, Trino, Apache Flink®, Presto, Apache Hive™, and Impala—to safely read and write the same tables concurrently.

From there you can set up your profile and start familiarizing yourself with the platform. On the morning of the conference, we’ll email you again to remind you that it’s about to start! Our event platform is browser-based and super easy to join and use, with no software downloads or a hairy setup. We’re all about a modern, cloud experience.
Will the talks be recorded?
Yes, as long as you register (even if it turns out you are unable to attend) you can watch them later at your leisure if you miss something or just to get a refresher.
Is there an “exhibitor hall” of some sort?
Both days will feature an in-person exhibition space where you can connect directly with leading technology providers, watch live demonstrations, and discuss your specific use cases in depth. Our exhibitors represent the most innovative solutions in the Iceberg ecosystem. Please note that exhibitor interactions will only be available in person — there will be no virtual option.
