Last week I had an opportunity to attend Cassandra Day in New York. The event took place in Grand Hyatt right by Grand Central.
There were 3 tracks: beginner, advanced and business. I chose the advanced track. It consisted of 8 talks given by Datastax employees as well as developers from other companies who've used Cassandra. All talks were well prepared and interesting. I found the talk about Security the Right Way by Ben Bromhead the most useful. He talked about different aspects of security: authentication, authorization, internode communication as well as security for data at rest. The talk was practical and informative.
There are Cassandra Days coming in multiple cities around the world.
By the end of the day the information given became a little bit repetitive: don't do secondary indexes, model to your queries, Spark is good if you want to analyze and aggreagate data, etc but overall this is not the bad way to spend the day.
