The Argo Project consists of 4 related, but separate, toolsets. So it’s not just about GitOps, but a wide variety of use cases from platform engineering, AI, CI/CD, and general cloud-native management. We strive to load the event with as many end user stories as possible in order to facilitate community engagement and the sharing of ideas. So from learning what others are doing or just general networking, ArgoCon is uniquely positioned to offer things for a wide variety of talks for folks from various industries/backgrounds.
ArgoCon has been around since 2021! Initially, ArgoCon started out as a virtual event and the inaugural event took place in 2021. Following the success of ArgoCon 2021, we held a stand alone event that was hosted by the CNCF. ArgoCon 2022 happened, in person, at the Computer Science Museum in Mountain View California. Starting in 2023, ArgoCon has been a co-located event with KubeCon for both North America and Europe. Happening twice a year, each time with multiple tracks, speaks to the popularity of the Argo Project.
Who will get the most out of attending this event?
Those who are interested in infrastructure management, AI workflows, DevOps engineers, and release managers. Really, there’s a variety of talks since the Argo Project toolsets span multiple use cases. We have to say that if you’re into operationalizing Kubernetes, you’ll definitely want to check out ArgoCon
What is new and different this year?
This year we have a very special surprise for everyone, we will be playing the trailer for the Argo Project Documentary that will be premiering (in its entirety) at KubeCon. Our attendees this year in Salt Lake will get a special sneak peek teaser before it’s premiered later during KubeCon.
What will the day look like?
The event will take place in Salt Lake City Co-located with KubeCon. Best way to attend is to add the “all access pass” when registering for KubeCon. It’s one day, multiple tracks, so you’ll have plenty to choose from during the event. After the event there will be a networking event where you can meet with others, connect, and talk about the day.
Should I do any homework first?
Definitely go to the project and familiarize yourself with each tool and what their focus is on. Go through any tutorials that you may have time for.
Find your community!
We’re excited to keep the momentum going for ArgoCon! Putting on this event has been a culmination of a lot of hard work from the community. We wouldn’t be able to do an event like this without the help of countless people. It’s really an event for the community and we’re excited for all who attend.
Submitted by Christian Hernandez who, along with the other co-chairs, is really looking forward to the premier of the Argo Documentary.
