Keynote: United In The Cloud: Where Inclusion 'Winds' Around The World - Nikhita Raghunath, VMware; Divya Mohan, SUSE; Akihiro Suda, NTT Corporation; Carolina Valencia, Krol Cloud; Destiny O'Connor, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Working Group

Much like Chicago's iconic ‘L’ trains, CNCF project maintainers traverse a global network, creating a unified ecosystem that transcends geographical boundaries. Now more than ever, there has been an increase in the number of community members from various regions, languages and cultures. KCDs have also been springing up in several cities all over the world!

In this keynote, Nikhita will highlight how the cloud native community has evolved over time, challenges faced by contributors from around the world and how we can build a vibrant home that embraces all voices. Just as the Chicago River flows through the heart of the city, inclusion weaves through the fabric of cloud native development, playing a major role in sparking innovation and strengthening the community's collective identity.

In the Windy City and beyond, the contributions of these global stewards are key to cloud native’s success. Through this keynote, learn more about how to best support them and address the evolving needs of users and contributors worldwide.
