Detroit welcomes the largest open-cloud and container-based developer events and workshops in the world. The event offers tutorials, keynotes, and networking opportunities across five days.
As a longstanding CNCF member, Layer5 has donated two of its open source projects to the CNCF: Meshery and Service Mesh Performance. We're hosting project office hours where you can learn more about each of the projects, and meet the project maintainers.

Other Activities at KubeCon NA 2022
Security Slam
Layer5 is participating in the Security Slam again this year. Security Slam started at the beginning of October and will end at the conference. The program offers a chance to not only strengthen the security of your project but also to contribute $50,000 to the diversity scholarship fund. Sonatype and CNCF are working together as part of a Google-sponsored initiative to assess how well projects adhere to CNCF's security criteria. Each project that achieves full security will get a $2,500 donation from Google for the CNCF's Diversity Scholarship Fund.
Kid’s Day
Kid's Day will be held on October 23, the day before the main event begins! In two fantastic STEAM workshops, this is meant to provide young creatives in the Detroit area the chance to unleash their thoughts. Children are not required to register for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in order to take part in Kid's Day. You can pre-register.
Contribfest
At this year's conferences, we have Contribfest, which will offer a forum for tracking technical debt, eliminating bugs, and resolving open issues and requests in CNCF projects. Project contributors and maintainers come together during Contribfest in a common area to work on outstanding issues of various sizes. Projects like Knative Eventing, KubeVirt, Ago, Flux, and Prometheus are ready for Contribfest cleaning.
