# Streaming Live: M|18 User Conference Keynotes

MariaDB’s sold-out user conference, [M|18](https://m18.mariadb.com/ "M|18 user conference website"), kicks off on Monday! It’ll be two jam-packed days of learning and networking in New York City. Not able to join us in person? You can still get a peek at the action – we’re live-streaming the opening-day keynote presentations on Monday, February 26.

MariaDB’s CEO, Michael Howard, will deliver a **welcome keynote** to provide an inside look at what MariaDB is working on. Then two exceptional MariaDB customers – **ServiceNow** and **DBS Bank** – will share their unique journeys with MariaDB and open source.

The stream goes live at 1:15 PM ET / 7:15 PM CET. **Want a reminder when it happens?**
