CALL FOR TALKS

CFT is closed for 2025!

MQ Summit is where messaging experts, developers, and decision-makers come together to explore the future of message queues and event-driven architectures. We’re looking for insightful talks that dive into real-world use cases, best practices, and the latest advancements in messaging technologies. CFT closes: 6 July (extended) 2025

What We’re Looking For:

Deep dives into messaging systems like RabbitMQ, Kafka, Pulsar, NATS, Amazon SQS, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, and more
Case studies of large-scale implementations, performance tuning, and troubleshooting
Innovations in messaging, event-driven architectures, and hybrid cloud strategies
Security, observability, and best practices for running reliable messaging infrastructure
Tooling, interoperability, and evolving standards in the MQ ecosystem
Trends in how messaging tech is enabling:
- Cloud-to-edge architectures
- AI-powered systems
- Smart manufacturing
- Connected vehicles
Exploring messaging patterns in a point-to-point centric world:
- Pub/Sub, M:N, push vs. pull
