The Dan Kohn Scholarship application is now closed for in-person attendees. However, CNCF is supporting the community in the following ways:
Individual ticket pricing is available for anyone who is currently not working for a company, works for a non-profit or is attending in person at their own expense (i.e. not funded by a company).
CNCF is offering up to 200 complimentary in-person in-person All Access tickets* to support those affected by recent job loss or travel budget freezes. These tickets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis to those in need. Please email us at events@cncf.io with “Job Loss + Budget Freeze Ticket Offer” as the subject, for a special discount code.
