With quotes from some participating companies for this coming edition:

Jacek Migdal, CEO & Co-founder, Quesma
"The observability and security landscape is evolving rapidly, and modern SQL is the key to unlocking unparalleled efficiency. At Quesma, we started by bringing Elasticsearch interoperability to ClickHouse, and now we’re optimizing performance and cost efficiency by 10x. With paid customers and strong partnerships like Hydrolix, we’re proving that structured query intelligence is the future. We\’re excited to share how we’re pushing the boundaries of SQL-driven troubleshooting with The IT Press Tour."

Tommi Kannisto, CEO and Founder, Storadera
"Storadera is excited to join The IT Press Tour in London and is looking forward to discussing the latest developments in our secure and cost-effective S3 compatible cloud storage platform. We will focus on our journey to achieve SSD-like performance on the HDD backend using variable block size technology. This kind of innovation allows us to continue offering some of the best prices in the industry while keeping the service secure and sustainable. We’ll also discuss how we address security, our geographical expansion plans and the importance of having Europe-based technology in our ecosystems."
