#KubeCrawl + #CloudNativeFest
One party to rule them all!
Been to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon before? You’ve undoubtedly come to the Welcome Reception + Booth Crawl or the All-Attendee Party (or both!) and had an amazing time connecting with fellow #TeamCloudNative members and the local culture. Together we’ve been to Tivoli Gardens, piano dualed, watched an artist spill coffee to create his works, crawled the haunts of Rainey Street, and dipped our toes in a pool by the Valencian palms. As our community has grown, so too have our events, and we are thrilled to provide an enhanced, integrated experience for everyone by combining the Welcome Reception + Booth Crawl and All-Attendee Party into one big celebration.
Join us for an incredible gathering of local food favorites, old Dutch games, trivia, and other activities unique to Holland, including:
- Creating your own beats with a Mash Machine!
- Diving into a camper bus ball pit!
- Chasing the live-action as your favorite classic video game villains, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde in Pac-Man XL!
- Other fair favorites like face painting, caricaturists, the ice cream man, lego and puzzle building, and DJ Miss Brown!
Don’t miss out on the latest and greatest party at your favorite tech event! We’ll see you in Amsterdam!
Thank you to our sponsor!
