+Our efforts around [Trino Summit 2024]({% post_url
+2024-07-11-trino-summit-2024-call-for-speakers%}) are ramping up and the event
+is creeping closer and closer. We are really looking forward to the two-day,
+free, virtual event in December about all things Trino.
+
+While we are working hard to put together the [SQL basecamps before Trino Summit
+training sessions]({% post_url 2024-10-07-sql-basecamps %}) and [other community
+events]({{site.baseurl}}/community.html#events), a number of your awesome peers
+from the Trino community submitted session proposals, and we are excited to
+share that glimpse on the agenda for Trino Summit 2024.

+
+## First batch of sessions
+
+Let's see what already settled on the agenda.
+
+### Running Trino as exabyte-scale data warehouse
+
+Presented by Alagappan Maruthappan from [Netflix](https://netflix.com)
+
+Netflix operates over 15 Trino clusters, efficiently handling more than 10
+million queries each month. As the initial creator of the Apache Iceberg,
+Netflix has over 1 million Iceberg tables extensively using the Trino Iceberg
+connector. In this session we talk about the operational challenges faced,
+internal efficiency improvements, and our experience with upgrading to the
+latest Trino version.
+
+### A Lakehouse that simply works
+
+Presented by Vincenzo Cassaro from [Prezi](https://prezi.com/)
+
+With the billions of tech and vendor proposal, it's easy to loose track of what
+truly matters. Vincenzo would like to show how a simple combination of established,
+maintained, open source technologies can make a lakehouse that truly works for a
+150M users company.
+
+### How Trino and dbt unleashed many-to-many interoperability at Bazaar
+
+Presented by Shahzad Siddiqi, Siddique Ahmad, and Usman Ghani from
+[Bazaar]({{site.baseurl}}/users.html#bazaar_technologies)
+
+Learn how Bazaar leveraged the combined power of Trino and dbt to scale their
+data platform effectively. This talk delves into the strategies and technologies
+used to enable many-to-many integration, fueling data-driven decision-making
+across the organization.
+
+### Maximizing cost efficiency in data analytics with Trino and Iceberg
+
+Presented by Gopi Bhagavathula from [Branch](https://www.branch.io/)
+
+At Branch, we realized that our existing architecture, was not only expensive
+but also becoming unsustainable as data volumes grew for one of our business
+units and we decided to adopt Trino and Apache Iceberg. Our journey of migrating
+from Apache Druid to Trino and Iceberg taught us that the right combination of
+tools can transform data analytics for one of our internal business units,
+offering the perfect balance between cost savings, performance, and scalability.
+Learn more how we achieved 7-figure savings with a few “compromises”.
+
+### Using Trino as a strangler fig
+
+Presented by Trevor Kennedy from [Fanduel](https://www.fanduel.com/)
+
+This talk discusses how FanDuel uses Trino to migrate analysts from Redshift to
+Delta Lake using Martin Fowler's Strangler Fig pattern. Trino slowly took roots
+after initial trials, started replacing parts of the legacy system, and
+eventually will be a complete replacement with a shadow of the original system.
+
+### Enduring with persistence to reach the summit
+
+Presented by Martin Traverso from [Starburst]({{site.baseurl}}/users.html#starburst)
+
+In the keynote Martin presents the latest and greatest news from the Trino
+project and the Trino community. With more contributors, more maintainers, and a
+larger community we got a lot done since Trino Fest in June. Find out the
+details from the co-creator of Trino.
