PrestoCon is a day-long event for the PrestoDB community by the PrestoDB community that will showcase more of the innovation within the Presto open source project as well as real-world use cases. In addition to being the platinum sponsor of the event, Ahana will be participating in 5 sessions and Ahana customer Adroitts will also be presenting their Presto use case.

Together with our customers like Adroitts, Ahana will be presenting the latest technology innovations including governance on data lakes with Apache Ranger and AWS Lake Formation. We look forward to the best PrestoCon to date.”
