Definition

Lakehouse Day EU 2026 is a single-day multi-track conference focused on open lakehouse formats and table formats under the Apache Software Foundation umbrella. The event runs on 10 October 2026 at the Hilton Glasgow, immediately before the main Community Over Code EU conference (11-14 October). Sessions cover the technical architecture, adoption patterns, and ecosystem integrations of Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, Apache Parquet, and Apache Gravitino.

Why Lakehouse Day EU exists

Open table formats have become a contested space in data engineering, with competing standards gaining traction across cloud vendors and independent deployments. Lakehouse Day EU provides a vendor-neutral forum to compare implementations, discuss specification evolution, and exchange migration and interoperability experience across the Apache project ecosystem.

Editorial take

For data engineers navigating the open table format space, Lakehouse Day EU is the closest thing to a specification-level forum available in Europe, organised by the bodies that write the standards.
