Frequently Asked Questions
Is Subsurface virtual or in person?
Subsurface World Tour 2025 will be an in person only event this year. We will be announcing our Subsurface Virtual Day at a later date.
Who can attend?
If you are not a current or prospective Dremio customer, you can apply to attend. Customers and prospective customers are automatically accepted to attend in-person. Unfortunately, if you are a student, consultant, or currently not working we will not be able to accept your registration. We will have set aside a certain amount of tickets for partners and key community members. Everyone will be conditionally approved. If there is a concern or issue with your registration the event team will reach out to you.
Our virtual event, which will be happening later this year, is welcome to everyone!
