Join MariaDB and Projective Group for an exclusive thought leadership event in central London. This is a rare opportunity to hear from two leaders shaping the database industry: Michael “Monty” Widenius, the visionary creator of both MySQL and MariaDB, and Rohit de Souza, MariaDB’s CEO leading the company into its next phase of growth and innovation.

In a sector defined by intense regulation and the demand for constant innovation, your data infrastructure is your greatest asset. This session is designed for senior leaders navigating the complexities of data security, regulatory compliance, and risk management, all while trying to reduce the total cost of ownership while gaining a competitive edge by embracing cloud and AI technologies. Discover how to achieve enterprise-grade performance and reliability while taking advantage of powerful AI and cloud-native capabilities without the premium price tag of legacy databases.
