If you need an academic Data Management / Data Systems event as "excuse" to visit #Amsterdam in November 2024 and/or January 2025, here are three upcoming registration deadlines for events co-organized by us (CWI):

08 Nov 2024: Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD 2024; Fri 22 Nov 2024; event.cwi.nl/dbdbd2024/regi…);

Fri Nov 22 15:00-19:00, we are further organizing a meetup in Amsterdam @cwinl with a panel by our guests from the Dijkstra event the day before, a keynote by marcin.zukowski & talks by Databricks, Weaviate • vector database, ClickHouse + MotherDuck! registration: bit.ly/amsdatasys

To clarify: cwida.github.io/dbdbd2024/meet… is part of the yearly academic get-together Dutch-Belgian Database Day (DBDBD). The Amsterdam Data Systems meetup is its closing industrial session, so if you already registered for DBDBD2024 you don't need to register separately for the meetup

Thu Nov 21, marcin.zukowski gets the Dijkstra Fellowship @cwinl, with lectures by a stellar lineup: Andy Pavlo (@andypavlo.bsky.social) @hfmuehleisen @MadelonHulsebos Allison Lee & Viktor Leis. The program is out now! See: cwi.nl/en/events/dijk… registration=25eur (student 15eur), includes ☕️🥪🍻

Congrats marcin.zukowski with the Dijkstra Fellowship Award for your groundbreaking work on database architecture! "I hope he will continue to build new technologies, teams and products, because he's great at it", CWI group leader Peter Boncz said in his laudation speech.

Some pictures of the CWI lectures on database architecture, more here: cwida.github.io/dbdbd2024/dijk… 🙏 to marcin.zukowski + Andy Pavlo (@andypavlo.bsky.social) @MadelonHulsebos Hannes Muehleisen, Viktor Leis and Allison Lee for their contributions, but also to all who made this a great event and attended!

Furthermore, we have now posted the video's of these lectures now in the Dutch Seminar on Data Systems Design (Dutch Seminar on Data Systems Design) seminar YT channel: bit.ly/cwida-dijkstra… many 🙏 @DLJtenWolde & Leonardo Kuffo Rivero from wida xie for editing!

But there's more! Last Friday, the day after the Dijkstra Award, it was our honor to host the 20th Dutch-Belgian Database Day (DBDBD2024) wida xie. It was well-attended and lively. 🙏 to all who made it possible. DBDBD2024 pictures are on cwida.github.io/dbdbd2024 (scroll down):

The closing of DBDBD 2024 was the "Amsterdam Data Systems" session, with talks from Databricks, MotherDuck and @ClickHouse (due to illness, Weaviate • vector database could not make it). These companies all have a significant presence in Amsterdam. Videos on YT: bit.ly/cwida-ams-data…

After enjoying very well attended CWI Lectures on Data Systems & Dijkstra Fellowship Ceremony, as well as DBDBD 2024 CWI, we look forward to organizing CIDR 2025 & welcoming you in Amsterdam (Jan 19-22, 2025). Registration closes on Thu Dec 19, 2024. cidrdb.org/cidr2025/regis…
