October 24th, the Monday of KubeCon North America.

Where is the summit located?

The in-person location at the Huntington Place Convention Center, See the Location & Venue section for more information.

Will I be able to attend remotely?

Do I need to wear a mask?

All attendees are required to wear masks except when eating or drinking. Eating and drinking should be kept to designated areas.

Why do I need to be a Kubernetes Org member to attend in-person?

We welcome everyone to start contributing to the project, but with 1600+ Kubernetes Org members and limited space and budget requirements we’ve made the decision to limit attendance to those that are already actively engaged with the project.

If you are not yet a member, but active within the project, please consider joining! The process of joining is straight forward. See our org membership docs for more information. If your application to join is pending, please contact us at community@kubernetes.io about registering.

What is a sponsored attendee?

If you are a SIG lead or subproject owner and there is someone that is not yet an org member or from another project that might take part in a panel, SIG face-to-face meeting etc, you can sponsor them to attend the summit. Please email us to make arrangements.
