Get ready for an unforgettable pre-Durga Puja celebration where technology meets tradition! This CNCF Mega Meetup is not just another tech gathering — it’s a high-energy fusion of cutting-edge cloud-native innovations and the festive spirit of the season.

We’re bringing together developers, architects, DevOps engineers, open-source contributors, and cloud enthusiasts under one roof to share knowledge, showcase projects, and explore the latest in Kubernetes, container orchestration, microservices, and CNCF technologies. Expect inspiring talks from industry leaders, lightning sessions from the community, live demos, and open networking that can spark your next big collaboration.

And because it’s the season of joy, we’re adding a splash of celebration — think Puja-themed quiz contests, fun games, swags, stickers, and cool giveaways for our most engaged participants. You’ll leave not only with fresh ideas for your next deployment but also with memories of a festive evening well spent with your tech tribe.

Whether you come to scale your knowledge, share your expertise, or just soak in the culture and camaraderie, this is the place to be before the Puja lights take over the city. Let’s celebrate innovation and tradition, side by side.

Date: 20th September 2025 | Location: India Power Corporation, Sector 5
