The fourth annual cdCon will take place with GitOpsCon, hosted by the CNCF, on May 8 – 9, 2023, in Vancouver, Canada in co-location with Open Source Summit NA (May 10-12, 2023).
cdCon + GitOpsCon is designed to foster collaboration, discussion, and knowledge sharing by bringing two communities together. It’s the best place for projects, end users, and vendors to collaborate in shaping the future of GitOps and Continuous Delivery (CD).
This event is both for new and current GitOps and CD users. Learn from experienced practitioners about pitfalls to avoid, hurdles to jump, and how to adopt the most popular open source GitOps and CD technologies such as Argo, Flux, Tekton, Jenkins, Spinnaker, and CDEvents in your organization.
Fatih Degirmenci, CD Foundation Executive Director, says:
“For the first time since its inception, the CD Foundation’s flagship event, cdCon, gathered in-person and virtually for the third-annual cdCon in Austin, Texas, in June 2022. We were thrilled to see so many of our community members face-to-face and proud to be able to offer the event’s amazing content to a virtual audience.
“In 2023, the CDF community wanted to bring the projects and end users working with CD and GitOps from different communities together. That’s why we are excited to be co-organizing cdCon + GitOpsCon 2023 with the CNCF. What’s even more interesting for the attendees is that the event will be co-located with the Open Source Summit later that week, giving them the opportunity to register for it and get more out of their week in Vancouver with events like SupplyChainSecurityCon.
“We are so happy to collaborate with such expansive communities like the CNCF projects and the Open Source Summit events. The potential for collaboration is endless!”
