Developer Advocacy (and Kafka Summit) in the Pandemic Era

All Confluent developer advocates...assemble! COVID-19 has changed the face of meetings and events, halting all in-person gatherings and forcing companies to adapt on the fly. In today's episode of Streaming Audio, the developer advocates come together to discuss how their jobs have changed during the worldwide pandemic. 

Less than a year ago, this group was constantly on the road or in a plane on their way to present something new about Apache Kafka and event streaming, so how has the current climate affected their work? The group talks about Zoom fatigue, online presenting, online conferences/meetups, and of course, Kafka Summit 2020.
