I am thrilled that we’re hosting cdCon again this summer and that it’ll be co-located with the GitOps and the Spinnaker Summits. Our community is not only united but growing! We will most the most out of these virtual events and hope that we can meet in person in 2022.

How the speakers were selected
To help us shape the agenda for this year’s event, back in December we put out an open call for cdCon planning participants and program committee to our Ambassadors and the wider community. Our volunteers rated talks on a scale of 1-5 and we met regularly to discuss what we were looking for in talks and where necessary did specific outreach to underrepresented speakers, end user organizations and on specific topics we wanted to encourage to be in the program (e.g. burnout was a topic we felt important to discuss this year). We had a lot of talks submitted to the GitOps track so this led to spinning out of the GitOps Summit and we were thrilled to partner on this with the CNCF. Many thanks to our program committee:
