The cdCon Call for Papers is well underway and, based on the submissions the program committee just reviewed, this year’s cdCon is going to be jam-packed with amazing technical content and community-focused sessions from project maintainers, end users, and notables in the continuous delivery space. With over 40 submissions received in just a week we were hard-pressed to choose just five to announce early but without further ado… check out the first five early bird talks:

Panel: The Continuous Delivery Paradox – Balancing Business Value with Speed
Moderator: Gautham Pallapa, VMWare

Fidelity’s Software Delivery Platform – Frictionless Approach To Achieve Autonomic DevOps & Enhanced Security/Compliance Practices
Speakers: Jamie Plower & Evan Elms, Fidelity Investments

Operating Tekton with Secure Defaults
Speakers: Christie Wilson (Warwick) &  Wendy Dembowski, Google

CI/CD for Data – Building Dev/Test Data Environments with Open Source Stacks
Speaker: Vinodhini Duraisamy, Treeverse

Trusted Open Source Artifacts on the Blockchain: A Hands-On Introduction to Pyrsia
Speaker: Adam Gardner, Dynatrace

Congratulations to the speakers of these talks! 

*If you weren’t a part of the first five – have no fear, you are still in the running for acceptance into the cdCon 2023 program. We will send out notifications for the remaining program on March 3, 2023.*
