    March 2026 Community Table Talks

    Don’t use Zuora alone! Work through some of your toughest Zuora challenges in real-time with your peers and the guidance of a Zuora expert. 

    Flexible Commitment

    When: Mar 11, 2026, Wednesday at 7am PT
    Speaker: Luning Wang, Director, Product Management, Zuora

    Flexible Commitments expands Zuora’s current commitment capability beyond the product-level minimum commitment and usage-based transactions. Commitments represent minimum spend obligations and can span products, subscriptions, accounts, and transaction types. Commitments can be prepaid with an installment schedule or postpaid with a true up at the end of a period.

    This feature supports more flexible contracting, better revenue predictability, and a unified experience. Key industries include fintech, healthcare, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise applications, where threshold-driven billing is prevalent.

    Zuora Event Streaming Connector – Splunk Connector

    When: Mar 19, 2026, Thursday at 9am PT
    Speaker: Bharath Marimuthu, Principal Product Manager – Platform Security, Zuora

    Join us for an in-depth Table Talk on Zuora Event Streaming and Global Audit Trail, where we’ll explore how organizations can strengthen their security, compliance, and operational visibility across Zuora environments.

    In this session, you’ll learn how the Global Audit Trail (now enabled for all Production customers) provides centralized visibility into critical platform and billing events. We’ll also introduce the new Zuora Event Streaming Connector (separate SKU) and demonstrate how you can stream audit events in real time to tools like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Datadog—or leverage APIs for custom integrations.

    Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of:

    • How to operationalize Zuora audit data for security and compliance use cases
    • The difference between push-based and pull-based event streaming
    • Best practices for integrating Zuora with your SIEM or internal monitoring tools
    • How this capability supports regulatory requirements such as GDPR, SOC 2, and enterprise governance policies

    Whether you’re building a stronger security posture or looking to increase visibility across tenants, this session will provide practical guidance and implementation insights.
