But there's more! Last Friday, the day after the Dijkstra Award, it was our honor to host the 20th Dutch-Belgian Database Day (DBDBD2024) @cwida.

It was well-attended and lively. 🙏 to all who made it possible.

The closing of DBDBD 2024 was the "Amsterdam Data Systems" session, with talks from @databricks, @motherduck and @clickhouse (due to illness, @weaviate_io could not make it). These companies all have a significant presence in Amsterdam.
