Lineage: StreamNative launched Pulsar Summit (site pulsar-summit.org) as the Apache Pulsar conference. The first summit was announced in Dec 2019 as an in-person event in San Francisco in April 2020 but ran online instead (Pulsar Summit Virtual Conference, June 17-18, 2020, co-hosted with Splunk). Online/regional editions followed: Asia 2020, North America 2021, Europe 2021, Asia 2021 (held Jan 2022, announced hybrid with Beijing), Asia 2022, Europe 2023, Europe 2024. In-person editions at Hotel Nikko San Francisco in Aug 2022 and Oct 2023. In July 2024 StreamNative's CEO renamed the planned Pulsar Summit North America 2024 'Data Streaming Summit', widening scope to Kafka, Flink, Spark, lakehouse and other streaming technologies (site datastreaming-summit.org). DSS 2024 and DSS San Francisco 2025 were at the Grand Hyatt at SFO, DSS Virtual 2025 was online, and DSS 2026 ('The Data+Agent Conference') returned to Hotel Nikko on Oct 7-8, 2026. Social: X @DataStreamingSt is the conference account (formerly @PulsarSummit); LinkedIn and YouTube are StreamNative's.
