Sponsorship Deck 2025

In the beginning... It all began with a Kubernetes birthday party in Montreal in the summer of 2016. Since then, our Canadian meetup initiative has grown to become a beacon around which the Cloud Native community gathers.

Who are we? We are all about open source Our philosophy is about bringing developers and sys admins together so we can educate, empower and connect the community that will change the future of DevOps/SRE Our goal is to promote Kubernetes and other CNCF projects, explain their features, increase community involvement, discuss use cases, and develop the ecosystem. Our meetups are currently happening both in person and online on a quarterly basis across all meetup cities (events are shared/socialized approximately 3-4 weeks before event)
