be4data grows the monitoring community
We organize and run conferences, trade shows, workshops and training across IT, monitoring and observability, produce and publish podcasts, and champion best practices for monitoring information systems.
“Alone, we go fast.
Together, we go further.”
Our mission
The monitoring scene remains scattered: plenty of events exist, but each one runs its own show. What's missing is a shared, neutral space where every stakeholder can gather, exchange ideas and build together.
be4data exists to close that gap: a strong community with real technical and economic weight, championing shared standards for instrumenting, processing and visualizing data.
That's the whole spirit of Paris Monitoring Day: a space for exchange, shared experience and networking between editors, experts and enthusiasts — where business opportunities are part of the deal too.
