Community summit of the Apache Arrow project. The first edition ('Arrow Summit 25') was a free, one-day in-person event in Paris on 2 Oct 2025, the day after PyData Paris, with registration and agenda on the PyData Paris / Compute! Paris Meetup group and a CFP on Sessionize. No dedicated website; social accounts are the Apache Arrow project's own. No 2026 summit: on 2 Nov 2026 Antoine Pitrou wrote on dev@arrow that it was 'a bit late this year to organize a project summit' and proposed an informal Arrow birds-of-a-feather gathering at Compute! Paris (26 Nov 2026) instead.
