Building a CNCF community comes with wins and challenges. We launched KCD Sri Lanka in 2022 with a high-grade green screen production, featuring global speakers and over 1K YouTube livestream views. In 2023, our in-person KCD Sri Lanka was an early sold-out, house-full event, drawing speakers from around the world.

From securing sponsorships and growing engagement to handling setbacks, we’ll share key lessons from leading Kubernetes Sri Lanka. Whether you’re starting or scaling a CNCF community, this talk will provide practical takeaways to build a sustainable and impactful cloud native ecosystem.
