Kubernetes Community Days UK returns for 2022 and is taking place in-person at CodeNode, London on 22nd and 23rd November.
This event brings together the cloud native community from across the UK to learn, network and collaborate. Kubernetes Community Days UK is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and organised by community group leaders. Tickets are now on-sale, click link above.
Over the course of two days we will share stories of people using these technologies, both successes and failures - through in-depth technical talks, demonstrations of open source projects and workshops. The full agenda and speaker line-up will be published shortly.
Along with two days of fantastic talks and discussion, we will also be running interactive workshops and hands-on labs. The full workshop agenda will be available shortly, along with details on how to register for specific workshops.
Kubernetes Community Days UK is a volunteer-run event and we rely on money raised from sponsorship to cover event costs and swag, with any remaining proceeds being donated to charity. Our sponsors support the Kubernetes community in the UK; if you would like to sponsor this event, details are available here.
We are committed to making the participation of all those involved in this event an experience free from harassment of any kind. Kubernetes Community Days are governed by the Linux Foundation Code of Conduct available at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/code-of-conduct/.
Our CfP is now closed. We will be contacting applicants by 16th September.
