Two-day event April 8-9 in SF, biggest yet. Talks on column updates, AI policies, multi-cloud. Pre-meetup April 7 at Bloomberg.

Not replace — enhance. Federation and Ranger make it enterprise-friendly for multi-cloud. First TLP release 1.4.0 incoming.

Require disclosure, stricter reviews for AI code. Iceberg/Polaris aligning; Summit debate ahead. Focus: provenance over bans.
