Data in Motion with Apache ActiveMQ and Apache Beam By: JB Onofré, Principal Software Engineer, Dremio + Director, Apache Foundation.

Modern data architectures demand more than batch processing — they require reliable, scalable, and flexible pipelines that can handle data as it moves. This session explores the powerful combination of Apache ActiveMQ, a battle-tested message broker for enterprise messaging, and Apache Beam, a unified programming model for both batch and streaming data processing.

GraphFlow & Beam: Pythonic, Scalable GNN Pipelines By: Yogesh Tewari, Senior Cloud Data Engineer at Google.

Learn how GraphFlow, a modular Python toolkit, utilizes Apache Beam to create efficient and scalable data pipelines for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). We’ll demonstrate how GraphFlow on Beam tackles large-scale graph data challenges, including distributed ingestion from cloud databases, scalable feature normalization, graph sampling, and online model inference.



Google Cloud Dataflow Training:


Beam Summit will host a Dataflow Training on June 24th, 2026 (Day 3).

This hands-on session will walk you through real-world examples of building and managing streaming pipelines using Apache Beam on Google Dataflow. Whether you’re just getting started or want to deepen your skills, this training is designed to help you succeed in building, running, and optimizing Apache Beam pipelines on Google Cloud Dataflow.

  • Focused training on Dataflow
  • In-depth learning on Apache Beam
  • Hands-on labs and practical exercises
  • Certification opportunities
