[GenPage]

This issue is to track plans for Kubecon London in April 2025. Let us know what you think we should do and what you can help with!

Things we've done the past few Kubecons and which we'd like to continue:

• Booth in project pavilion for meetups
• Lightning talk sessions on our governed projects and new ideas
• Project meeting on project meeting day
• Conference sessions about the TAG and WGs
• Announcements of new papers and initiatives

NOTE: There is a new Maintainer Summit as well as the Maintainer Track

### Tasks
- [x] Request TAG Project Booth Opportunities
- [x] Submit Lightning Talk for TAG during the Maintainer Track
- [x] Submit Panel Discussion for TAG at Maintainer Summit

Do you know who already submitted an LT and what the topic is?

[GenPage]

@danieloh30 I did, however the Maintainer Track during the main conference didn't allow for selecting the talk type (LT vs Session vs Panel) I did a generic topic titled "A Quick Look at TAG App Delivery".

For the Panel discussion, let's aim to have a more concrete topic. Panels with broad topics like "what is TAG App Delivery?" can be boring and most people don't know what that means. What about the following:

Title: Trends around platforms, devex and infrastructure for 2025

Abstract

In this session, working group leaders from the TAG AppDelivery initiative will share their opinions and trends that they are observing in the industry around platform engineering, developer experience, and infrastructure tooling. Attendees will gain insights into projects, practices, and tools changing how high performers deliver software.

I'm thinking of a more specific title for the panel discussion.

• Shaping the Future: Platform, DevEx, & Infrastructure Trends for 2025
• Evolving CNCF Landscape: Platform, DevEx, & Infrastructure Trends in 2025

I also updated the abstract a bit:

This panel discussion brings together leading voices from working group leaders of the TAG App Delivery initiative to explore emerging trends shaping the future of software delivery. We'll discuss the evolving landscape of platform engineering, examining how innovative practices and cutting-edge tools empower app developers and streamline infrastructure. Through insightful discussions, attendees will understand the key factors driving success in modern software development and discover how to leverage these advancements to enhance their delivery processes.

Just want to mention that there are no set date for confirmation on the project pavilion kiosk. The website only states Project Pavilion kiosk schedule and directory will be available in early March.

I think I have the powers to summon emails because yesterday I got the confirmation that we have our kiosk. We still don't know where it will be, but we get the same basic setup as always. We need to have it staffed throughout the project pavilion hours, and I will start drafting a schedule for it like last time.
