Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H

Communities are the backbone of innovation and collaboration, but how do diverse geographies, cultures, problems, and challenges influence the way these communities operate? Leaders from Latam, Africa, Europe, and India will share their unique stories, solutions, and insights, highlighting both the similarities and differences in community building across regions. The discussion will focus on improving guidelines for supporting underrepresented groups, developing strategies to strengthen local chapters, breaking down silos, and addressing regional challenges.

A CNCF Community Manager will moderate the discussion, sharing challenges raised by organizers worldwide and exploring how approaches to community building vary across regions. By the end of this panel, attendees will be inspired to cultivate respectful and inclusive communities for everyone. KubeCon, in particular, embodies a unique blend of cultures and languages.
