Platform Engineering Day North America

Co-chairs: Paula Kennedy, Stacey Potter, Vijay Chintha

November 12, 2024

Salt Lake City, Utah

Platform Engineering Day focuses on solutions over tooling. We believe that Platform Engineering is a vital practice that helps organizations to increase their speed and efficiency of delivering software. The focus for the day will be to look at the challenges that teams are tackling and sharing use cases and advice from practitioners and consultants that will give attendees practical takeaways. This is the second time we’ve had a Platform Engineering Day; the first time was at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024.

Who will get the most out of attending this event?

This will be relevant for any engineers working in DevOps, Platform Teams, SRE teams or any team that is providing services or tooling to another team. There will also be key ideas and suggestions that will be useful for those working in infrastructure or operations teams, and for decision makers looking to understand how to solve bottlenecks within their organization caused by internal tech debt and platform sprawl. 

What is new and different this year?

We have packed in even more amazing content than we had at Paris so it is going to be a fantastic day for learning.

What will the day look like?

The event is a full day, single track event that has a mixture of keynotes, lightning talks, breakout sessions and panels. We’ll kick off with an update from the CNCF Platforms Working Group (part of the TAG App delivery) and from then it will be an agenda packed with awesome stories.

Submitted by Paula Kennedy, who is looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones.
