> Current, the premier stream processing event, has become a must-attend event for all data streaming practitioners. Make sure to visit us at booth 301 and join us at Data Stream Social.

Stream processing has experienced an explosive surge in popularity over the last couple of years. The convergence of technological advancements and a burgeoning demand for instant insights across industries have made stream processing a must-have for businesses worldwide.


## Why Are We Sponsoring Current 23?

###Thought Leadership

Current, the premier stream processing event, has become a must-attend event for all data streaming practitioners. Vendors are eager to showcase their products. Attendees are excited to learn about forthcoming developments, and mix and mingle with peers.

At RisingWave Labs, we continue to support Current as a platform to reach a cross-section of audiences to both educate and learn from the wider community. This year, we are thrilled to join as a silver sponsor in this event to bring together forward-thinking streaming professionals and top-of-the-line vendors.


###Better Together Partnerships

Current is also a great opportunity for partners to converge on common goals for the data streaming space. As the leader in the Data streaming space, Confluent is spearheading an effort to bring select partner companies in the Data Streaming space under the umbrella of a partnership program called ‘Connect with Confluent.’ We are happy to share that RisingWave Labs is part of the program. At Current, we will be showcasing the close integration between Confluent Cloud and RisingWave Cloud products.


## Why Should You Stop by Our Booth at Current?

###Learn About RisingWave

The past few months have been unprecedented for us at RisingWave Labs. On June 28th, we launched [RisingWave Cloud](https://www.risingwave.com/cloud/), our cutting-edge, fully managed SQL stream processing platform that provides our customers with an easy-to-use cloud computing platform that can support a wide range of applications and workloads. Then, in mid-August, we launched [RisingWave v1.1](https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave), packed with exciting new features, including watermarks, an emit-on-window-close policy, read-only transactions, and new window functions.

With these exciting updates to both RisingWave Cloud and Database in place, this is a great time for an audience of seasoned streaming professionals and potential customers to learn and provide feedback on what matters the most to them.

###Mix and Mingle With Other Data Professionals
Connecting with thought leaders, data practitioners, and enthusiasts provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to share ideas and learn from one another. Stream processing is rapidly evolving, and these exchanges help everyone keep up with the latest trends and technologies. Moreover, informal over-the-cup coffee conversations can often lead to potential collaborations and long-term partnerships. So, do not be a stranger; come and hang out with us at booth 301.


###Meet the RisingWave Team and Score Some Swag

Current makes it a great place to connect in person with the RisingWave team after all those blurry Zoom calls. This time, we come in sizable numbers – so this is your chance to meet people from Product, Engineering, Sales, and Developer Advocacy. Everyone will be glad to provide a firsthand glimpse into our product from their own perspective.

If you are just passing by and haven’t heard of RisingWave before, stop by our booth and experience firsthand how our offerings can solve your problems or meet your needs. We have some highly sought-after May the Stream Be With You T-shirts and a bunch of other swag you will enjoy.

## Bonus: Attend a Social Event During Current

Together with our partners, [Claypot AI](https://www.claypot.ai/), [Quix](https://quix.io/), and [Data Engineer Things](https://blog.det.life/), as a community partner, we want to capitalize on the fact that a number of data professionals will travel across the world to attend Current and stay in San Jose during the event. Along with them, many Bay Area-based data professionals and enthusiasts are looking forward to attending a stream processing-themed social, with some short talks, a raffle, and networking opportunities. Together with our partners, we will make this possible!
