Mark your calendars! The Real-Time Analytics (RTA) Summit 2025 is coming to your screens on May 14, and you won’t want to miss it. This virtual event, hosted by StarTree, is free to attend and brings together leading voices, groundbreaking technologies, and practical insights from the forefront of real-time analytics.

What is RTA Summit?

The RTA Summit is the premier gathering for professionals and innovators in real-time analytics, where you can explore the latest trends, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of data-driven decision-making. With cutting-edge topics like Agentic AI, Real-Time Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and modern observability, the 2025 Summit promises to redefine what’s possible with real-time data.

Expanding our reach with a virtual summit

For 2025, we’ve made the decision to go fully virtual, allowing us to accommodate more people and broaden the event’s reach to real-time analytics professionals around the globe. While designing and building real-time analytics at scale may have started in Silicon Valley, enthusiasts and contributors now span across continents. A virtual format ensures that no matter where you are, you can connect with the brightest minds in the industry, share insights, and discover the latest innovations shaping real-time analytics.

We couldn’t be more excited about the keynotes we’ve lined up for this year:

  • Kishore Gopalakrishna, co-creator of Apache Pinot and CEO of StarTree, will share his vision for the future of real-time analytics and how innovation in this space continues to break barriers.
  • Praveen Neppalli Naga, CTO for Mobility and Delivery at Uber , will take the stage to discuss how real-time analytics has played a pivotal role in shaping Uber’s strategy and operations, and how it is powering the future of Uber’s marketplace and AVs.

A look back at RTA Summit 2024

Last year’s RTA Summit set the bar high, with:

  • Inspiring practitioners from Uber, Stripe, and Pinterest, shared how they are driving transformation with real-time analytics.
  • Learning and skill development with leading tools like Apache Pinot, Flink, and Kafka, showcasing how to achieve subsecond query performance, scalable analytics, and cost efficiency in real-time data systems.
  • Compelling use cases on fraud detection, real-time personalization, and observability, showcasing how industries are solving critical business challenges.

Attendees walked away with actionable insights, a clearer view of the real-time analytics landscape, and a renewed sense of how to unlock the power of their data. RTA Summit 2025 builds on that foundation with fresh content and exciting new topics to explore.
