location

Tokyo, Japan


PROJECT LIGHTNING TALKS - TUESDAY, JUNE 16

Projects will have the opportunity to deliver lightning talks lasting 5-minutes during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. This platform offers projects the chance to showcase their recent updates, features, and other highlights to their peers. The project lightning talks will be included in the conference schedule and are based on availability.

Because the focus of these talks is on the project and not a specific speaker, complimentary passes are not provided and we recommend selecting a speaker who is already attending the event.

A maximum of 1 speaker is allowed per Project Lightning Talk. Please do not submit more.

MAINTAINER TRACK - TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16-17

Leaders of CNCF Graduated and Incubating Projects and Activities (Such as members of Working Groups, TAGs, User Groups) can submit to host one 35-minute session during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon within the Maintainer Track. We highly recommend non-maintainers be put forward as speakers for your talk. Participation is subject to availability and submitting does not guarantee selection. 

Each speaker can speak at only one Maintainer Track session. This does not count against the speaker limits for Kubecon + CloudNativeCon standard CFP.

In order to be considered, you must satisfy the requirements below:

Graduated/Incubating Projects

To submit, you must be a maintainer on this list for a CNCF Graduated or Incubating project, but the actual speaker(s) are not required to have maintainer status. Sandbox projects are not eligible for maintainer track sessions.

All Others

To submit, you must be a chair or technical lead of a CNCF TAG, a lead for a Kubernetes SIG, CNCF or K8s Working Group, User Group, or Subproject.

A maximum of 5 speakers total are allowed per Maintainer Track session.
