By Tiffany Hrabusa (Grafana Labs) |

The OpenTelemetry governance and technical committees, along with the project’s maintainers, invite you to join them and other members of the OpenTelemetry community at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe (registration) and at the co-located Observability Day in London from April 1 to 4, 2025.

This post covers all currently scheduled activities related to OpenTelemetry that are happening during KubeCon. Check back for updates before the start of the conference!

OpenTelemetry Contribfest

Join the OpenTelemetry maintainers for OpenTelemetry Contribfest! This hands-on session is a favorite for new contributors. You can choose between several opportunities to contribute—Collector, Go, Java, JavaScript, and more—with support and guidance from maintainers in these project areas to help you get started.

KubeCon talks and maintainer sessions

Observability Day

Observability Day fosters collaboration, discussion, and knowledge sharing of cloud native observability projects. This event will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, from 9:00 - 17:25. There will be several sessions on OpenTelemetry as well.

OpenTelemetry Observatory Booth

Drop by and say “Hi!” at OpenTelemetry Observatory booth in the Expo Hall1, courtesy of Splunk. This will be a place for informal chats, meetups, and other discussions led by OpenTelemetry community members and maintainers.

For the activity schedule, see the OTel Observatory Calendar. If you’d like to participate or lead a discussion or short presentation, reach out to the OpenTelemetry End User Working Group to indicate your interest.

You can also help us improve OTel by sharing your thoughts and feedback about your OpenTelemetry adoption, implementation, and usage experiences. We will create action items from your comments as appropriate, and post results to #otel-sig-end-user after the conference.

Come listen, learn, and get involved in OpenTelemetry. See you in London!
