Kicking off in Salt Lake City this year, one of the largest open source events in North America will bring together thousands of open source and cloud native enthusiasts
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, announced the schedule for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024, happening in Salt Lake City, Utah from November 12 – 15.
In its ninth year, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024 is taking place for the first time in the Silicon Slopes. The schedule, which was curated by a program committee of 93 community members and 22 track chairs led by co-chairs – Joseph Sandoval of Adobe, Nikhita Raghunath of VMware, and Kasper Nissen of Lunar – offers insights into the biggest trends and technologies impacting the cloud native ecosystem today. From a monumental 1937 submissions, attendees will choose from 218 sessions, keynotes, lightning talks, and breakout sessions, with 87 CNCF project maintainer-hosted sessions aimed at technologists across industries and skill sets. Attendees will also have access to over 40 CNCF Project Lightning Talks on Tuesday, which is included in the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon only pass.
"Having attended KubeCon + CloudNativeCon since its inception, I've consistently been impressed by the breadth and variety of the talks given by members of this incredible community," said Joseph Sandoval, Principal Product Manager at Adobe Inc., and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Co-Chair. "To be a co-chair this time and see the number of informative, and clever talks submitted has been inspiring. I am thrilled for attendees to experience the stellar lineup our program committee has worked tirelessly to pull together."
