Judging

The Judging process is designed with fairness and transparency in mind. Confluent is the main organiser of the Data Streaming Awards, but winners are chosen solely by a panel of data streaming experts spanning the entire category. Every effort is made to ensure there is no undue bias towards any vendor or technology.

If you are interested in becoming a judge, please email us at community+awards@confluent.io. We select judges who we deem are experts and community leaders of the data streaming industry.

Choosing Judges

The judges will be chosen, to complete a judging panel which has representation from many businesses directly involved with the Data Streaming Industry.

Nominations

We have and will seek to give companies across the industry the opportunity to promote nominations to their employees and communities!

Choosing Winners

No one but the Judges will be choosing winners. Each judge will be able to place votes, and will not have received indication of what other judges voted for previously.
