The OpenSearch community is coming together again to learn and connect about all things search and analytics at OpenSearchCon. The event is in-person only, and there is no fee for speakers to attend. This three-day event is designed to bring together builders from across the global community to celebrate the success of the OpenSearch Project and look to the future of search, analytics, and generative AI.
Suggested Topics
Search & Apache Lucene: Connect with other search and relevance practitioners with demos, deep dives, or new and novel techniques for building rich search applications. Master Lucene, the search engine library that powers OpenSearch - from relevancy tuning and efficient matching to analyzers and scoring.
Analytics, Security, and Observability: Deploying observability tools at scale? Using OpenSearch to turn log data into insights, or to help protect your infrastructure? We want to hear from you!
Community: Engage a community of builders on a topic that means something to you. Anything that might educate and inspire a community of open source technologists is up for consideration here.
Operating OpenSearch: Have you have built out an implementation of OpenSearch? Do you use OpenSearch in a solution that helps your own business or project? Share how you operate OpenSearch.
