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. ## Who attends Lakehouse Day EU 2026 - Data engineers building or migrating data platforms to open lakehouse formats - Architects evaluating Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, or Apache Parquet for production use - Open source contributors active in Apache Software Foundation data projects - Cloud data platform teams evaluating vendor implementations of open table format standards ## What the Lakehouse Day EU 2026 format includes - Multiple parallel technical tracks across the full day - Community and contributor sessions from Apache project committers - Co-location with Community Over Code EU for those attending the full week - Single-day attendance option independent of Community Over Code registration ## What the Lakehouse Day EU 2026 programme covers - Apache Iceberg: table format specification, metadata management, and cloud integrations - Apache Hudi: streaming ingestion, record-level updates, and Hudi on cloud object stores - Apache Parquet: columnar storage internals, encryption, and evolving specifications - Apache Gravitino: unified metadata management across data lakes - Lakehouse interoperability and multi-format migration strategies - Query engine integrations: Spark, Flink, Trino, and Dremio on open formats ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is Lakehouse Day EU? Lakehouse Day EU is an all-day conference dedicated to open lakehouse technologies under the Apache Software Foundation, co-located with Community Over Code EU. The 2026 edition takes place on 10 October at the Hilton Glasgow, the day before Community Over Code EU opens. ### Is Lakehouse Day EU part of Community Over Code?

Those attending both events may find shared infrastructure and networking opportunities at the Hilton Glasgow venue. ### Who organises Lakehouse Day EU? The event is organised under the Apache Software Foundation, the non-profit body that governs Apache open source projects including Iceberg, Hudi, Parquet, and Gravitino. ### Who is Lakehouse Day EU NOT designed for? - Professionals working exclusively with proprietary cloud data warehouse products without interest in open formats - Business analysts seeking non-technical or executive-level content - Data practitioners with no prior exposure to data engineering or big data architecture - Attendees expecting a commercial product showcase or vendor demo environment ## The venue: Hilton Glasgow The Hilton Glasgow is a full-service conference hotel in Glasgow city centre, approximately 15 minutes' walk from Glasgow Central station. The venue provides multiple breakout rooms suited to a multi-track conference format. ## The organiser: Apache Software Foundation The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a US-based non-profit organisation that manages the development of over 350 open source projects under the Apache licence. The ASF Community Over Code conference series is its flagship annual event for contributors, committers, and users across all Apache projects. --- ## 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.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration details and pricing are available through communityovercode.org/lakehouse-day. The CFP closed on 20 March 2026. Check the official website for attendee registration status and any combined ticketing with Community Over Code EU. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Can I attend Lakehouse Day EU without registering for Community Over Code?
