Free virtual conference on the Apache Arrow ecosystem run by Voltron Data. Only one edition took place (23 June 2022, live keynote/panel/fireside chat plus 25+ pre-recorded technical talks). A 2023 edition was announced for 30 Jan-2 Feb 2023, then pushed to 'Spring 2023', and replaced by the weekly 'Pulling the Thread' YouTube live series; by Dec 2023 the site no longer listed a date. YouTube channel is the conference's own; no conference-specific X/LinkedIn accounts found. Found via Andrew Lamb's speaking page.
