 Perfect. Great. Well, welcome everyone to the marketing committee meeting for June 7. Let me next slide. Just a reminder, today's call will be recorded. And you can go in through phone or internet and the next meeting coming up is going to be moved to July 12. You should have received that updated invite since the prior week is a holiday in the United States. As I noted, this call will be recorded slides can be found in the marketing committee slide folder or on YouTube. Just part of our antitrust notice. Let's make sure that we keep it, you know, involved in a neutral space so we don't have to get the lawyers involved. And everything else that that goes with that so moving on to the next one. Just a quick highlight of our agenda. We're going to discuss cube con cloud native con EU recap. We'll do some highlights for humans of cloud native as well as psyllium training. Then we'll go into our CMCF team updates through the slides specifically doing some call outs for cube con native con North America. And then we'll go into the marketing committee regarding the networking event for the marketing committee, as well as an update on when to expect project opportunities and then a reminder that the CFP closes on June 18. I want to kick this off with introducing our newest member to the marketing team, Melissa Smolensky so I'll let her go ahead and greet all of you. Hi everybody. I joined CNCF a little over two months ago so I'm fairly new but I was at Amsterdam so hopefully got to meet some of you all. And I am VP of marketing here at CNCF, and I've been in the community a long time. I was in a company called Coral S back before even CNCF was around but went to the first cube con. And then I, before this worked at get lab. And so anyways it's awesome to see how much the ecosystem has grown since those early days that I was at Coral S. And I'm excited to work with all of you. Thanks Mel we're excited to have you here. We're going into cube con cloud native con EU 2023 recap. We wanted to talk through a bit of the initial demographics so I'll pick this over to Vanessa here. Hello everyone. Good morning, good afternoon. You should have all received this initial post event demographic data we just included some screenshots here of overall data from all attendees and then it's broken down on the next slide into in person and virtual data. In person we had just over 10,500 attendees and virtual registrations around 5500. And then we had information coming out in the full event transparency report which will be available next week. Our sponsor team will share that with all sponsors via email and it will also be available on the website. I want to take a minute and just pause to open up a 10 minute discussion on your feedback and general enjoyment of cube con hopefully it was enjoyment. It ran really well this year so we're really excited to hear your experience. So yeah so let me kind of jump in here so we this year cube con was a little bit different and I was on the marketing call last year after cube con North America. When a lot of us were just kind of over the amount of time that sponsors had to be in the booth so I kind of want to set this up in a way where we can kind of discuss some of the changes that were made. And what you all thought about them if they were good how that worked within your own organization what you thought about that so kind of the first question. I want to throw out there is what did you think about the timeline the timeframe with the co located events versus how much exhibit time that you got so that's kind of like I want to open it up to everyone. What do you think, how did it go. Did anybody exhibit. Yeah hi my name is Emily Brown I'm from influx data and I think we had a really good amount. Well first of all that the layout was really good for us in particular because we were like right on the edge. And so we like literally where it opened up was where our booth was and so we got to see like everyone who just kind of came in and like you know visit us like right then and there. Yeah, so I think the layout was good and I think it blended itself to really good for any exhibitors that were there I think the brakes were good as well. I love that, like the lunch was served on the floor and then there were break tables and things like that on the side which again was by us. So for us to is really good overall as like an expo for the time that the attendees were at the expo. So what did you think since your since you jumped in about the not having the attendee party but having it all combined in the one day like the reception attendee party instead of it being somewhere different. Yeah, I thought it was great. I don't have any qualms about it I didn't like miss the reception as an exhibitor as a participant, you know, I love, you know, the bigger events and stuff like that where there's more networking but as an exhibitor I didn't miss it. Thank you for your feedback. Anyone else. Hi, I'm Renee from SVA from Germany. We also had the booth at the con and localization was quite good. At the end of the boom of the con that was quite difficult to assemble all things and get everything together because of the short timeline. It was a small booth with a lot of small things. You know what I mean. Now, the booth time stopped at 1430 or something like this. And we only had one hour to get all of our things. Oh, the packing up the. Yeah, yeah. There was also visitors at the same time when we were start packing again and yeah, I guess give us half of an hour more would be great. Okay, that's good feedback. Definitely wrapping up is always the hardest part right throwing things in boxes and trying to get packed. There is some communication in the chat. Julia kind of started saying she didn't like her booth being open during the networking event felt like it was a waste of time, Jamie agreed so did Isabella. And I'm going to go ahead and agree with you on that one as well. J frog we had a booth it was very wide very big open space we were by bars and we just kind of sat there. So that was a bit of an issue did anybody else, in addition to Jamie Isabella and Julia have any issues with the networking party and trying to staff a booth at the same time. Hi, I'm Sharon from code fresh. We had a different experience during the networking time. We're kind of from near one of the bar areas. And it wasn't a time where we were really doing demos but more just like casually talking to people about their problems and I think if you position it that way and not like hey come here for demo but you're Hey, we're cool you're cool. Let's grab a drink let's talk about things in more of like a theory thought leadership way that helps build some kind of trust with people and then a few of them came back like the next day or something like that and that was a little bit more helpful for us but we definitely weren't like trying to book demos during that time but more so just like having casual conversations like grabbing beers with friends about like their pain points. I'm just going to add to that. Yeah, it's, it's, it's more difficult for those of us who are in startup land right. And you know if there's only a few of us who are there at the event anyway because the event's pretty expensive and you can't send your entire compliment. And we can't get involved in those networking events if the booths open because we've got two booths why some cloud Cosmonic baby we all have to stuff those. I would say that we don't mind. And the booths being open from the point of view we quite like demoing and and our base we're always pretty busy, but I think we would quite like to get involved a little bit more in there in the social stuff is not it's not often. It's often not possible to do that. I do have a comment also about the cost of wasn't a from a startup point of view but I think that you've probably heard that a few times already. And but overall I just love the right I just thought that it was beautiful that the whole setup and the flow is really great but yeah those are my comments. Now that's good to hear and I think something that we also didn't take into account in terms of like our booth was feeding our staff. And so, just like a lot of you we staffed up really hard in the beginning and so when the lines were shorter, our team was trying to work a booth, and then the lines got really long and people were just kind of very hungry and cranky. So we mismanaged our time in that aspect but I think maybe from a CNCF perspective, if we could outline sort of the first hour for demos and the second hour, you know, kind of networking or something it might be some better direction based on what we're hearing from sponsors trying to trying to participate as well as you know demo if they can. Does that make sense. Okay, let's see. Yeah. And I want to go into the note that Melissa you just had here about access. There is a, a sheet like a press room at the events a media room. Was that not an option for your team to go in there to do interviews prior to the opening. So the tech stock tech strong interviews happen like at the show floor people, I don't think they did it at a press room, when you can see the videos are clearly out of booth. And then I know there was another company that did it definitely in their booth it was like open, not sorry, it was a something it was an AI run AI there we go. And they definitely did it at the booth, and it's like, that's, that's kind of how it is. I think that's how a lot of them happen. And so like, interestingly enough, like I had a sponsor pass, but like, you know, we ended up actually buying additional passes for the engineers and like we had someone who like is an engineering manager and he wasn't able to make it to the one of the interviews because like, he technically wasn't allowed back after a certain time of the day around the booth area. And they tended to try to do the interviews when there were fewer people around. Because you know, like, it's loud in the middle of the day when like the event hall is like super open, or they would try to do it in the in between times you know. I wouldn't say press always used to press room. I would say that's like, they seem to just be set up. I'll often at their booths, which is fine. Assuming they just assumed that like people would be able to come in before 1030 or that people would be able to stick around until like, after, maybe even after five. Well, this is the first time we've received this kind of feedbacks, regarding press and interviews at the booth, and it's something as a, as a team will review. Did you fill out as a sponsor and I'm going to say this for for everyone on this call. I think filling out the surveys are the best way for us to review and quantify any kind of feedback that we receive on the event that includes surveys feedback, feedbacks, as well as the overall event feedback so I'm just going to remind everyone, for future events, if you haven't filled out the surveys previously, make sure that you do that for future events so that way we can kind of review all that feedback and apply, you know, changes where we can can make changes, especially, you know, knowing things like interviews we do want to help support the community and ensuring that you're able to have access to the press and in some ways so maybe we find a different way for that to happen, whether I can't, I don't want to speculate on what kind of solution we'd come up for, but knowing that that's a pain point we do want to make sure that we're addressing it. I'd love to hear some really great positive things that came out of the event like what was a really awesome experience that you've seen this time around. And in the changes that you enjoyed having. I think what was and day was amazing. I really did. I think it probably was something to do and what I mean by that is the look and the field food catering. The rooms were set up really nicely I mean I know the rise kind of really set up for that kind of thing but you have this beautiful area set behind the main area, which was just dressed really well or the lighting was really great. One thing I would have about that is that you could really hear between the rooms. So if there was a big round of applause in one room it would put the speaker off in the other room but I thought the co located events and particularly was and day was really well done, really well done. segue into actual sorry into actual sessions like did you all have any issues getting into sessions what was your feedback on. I know that there were some some lines and some some wait lists, because we had so many attendees, and I will say that, echoing the sentiment on the event space like although we had however many 10,000 16,000 attendees it felt like it felt like you could breathe which I was super appreciative of sometimes you get stuck in these tiny little venues or it's a huge venue and you can't see people. But I thought this the size, the locations of the boost and the setup I thought was really good. But yeah, any other feedback in terms of like sessions that you attended or anything like that. So if we open it up does anybody just have anything they want to say, period, about their experience at cube con Kathy I see you smiling. So from Susa like to just give you guys a shout out that my executives enjoyed this cube con, better than the one in Detroit so we had the overwhelmingly positive feedback from my executive team about the events and how it was executed and the work the work that was done to bring it to fruition so as you know they were coming back like this is they were questioning things after Detroit and you see NCF kind of fix everything for us and our executives were very happy so the feedback I'd like to give you guys. That's awesome Robert we love hearing that. And we're so happy that we were able to have a such a positive experience with your executives and that they came back and we're able to see the changes that we need so we're so happy to hear that. Well, I would like to just take a minute and thank everyone for their feedback today. If you have anything additional that you would like to share with us. You can add it in the chat of course, but in, in regards to time we just want to make sure that we keep this moving so I'm going to go ahead and move this on to our highlights. I want to give a quick shout out to humans of cloud native and pass this over to Charlie man so she can talk a little bit more in depth about this great program. Oh, thanks Katie. Just a quick update on our humans of cloud native program so we've had this running for just a little over a year now. It's been received really well we've had positive feedback so we have invigorated our program to actually bring you even more humans of cloud native. Katie has very kindly sort of allowed us to partner with the ambassadors to get some more amazing folks who are doing some truly incredible things in the community to tell their stories. The pipeline is now completely booked until cubecon in North America. So of course we will still be taking nominations. You can very easily do that by emailing humans at CNCF dot io, but please note that it may take us a wee while to get back to you. Definitely a couple of months to get those interviews set up. But yeah if you have any sort of feedback on this program or you think that someone would be a really great fit then please don't hesitate to get in touch. I think that's that's all for me on this one Katie. Great. Thanks Charlie and then I wanted to hand this over to Christoph to talk about Sillian training. He may not be on the call. Mel, are you able to jump in? Yeah, thanks. Yeah, so we recently, the Sillian training we announced at coupon Amsterdam and it became generally available on May 24. And we worked with Isovalent to promote the course and it's now open and we've had lots of registrations for it. So just wanted to give a shout out for this training. Great, thanks. We're going to move into membership growth. We have a new platinum member. Welcome to HCL Tech. Two new gold members. EI, AUI, and Haidachi. Several new silver members. So welcome to all those new silver members. We're excited to have them. We have a continuation of silver members and a few new end user members as well as a nonprofit member and end user supporting member. And then just a quick update on our acquisitions for that we've seen this year. And in the, in the past so just a great site to kind of take a look at for historical. Yeah, welcome to PR and AR. I'm going to hand it over to Jesse. Yeah, I can take it today. Yeah. Yeah, so just some highlights from the PR side from coupon. It was actually our biggest European event ever in terms of media and analysts attendance we had 176. So those were actually in person and we had 118 in person and 56 virtual. And they came from all over the globe and they actually generated a ton of coverage for them 4200 articles, which was a 70% increase from last year's European event. Yeah, and we hosted some event for press and analysts. And then we worked with members and marketing committee members to place more than 65 contributed articles with our media partners and included more than 75 member announcements in the news package. And then the next few slides just kind of highlight some, some of the top coverage. Sustainability was a really big topic was really popular with the media and analysts like along with attendees. So this is just a great article that came out on Forbes. And then another kind of great recap article from one of our French media attendees. And then we just picked out about 15 or so the top articles here is that we had more than 4200 total and then tracking in at a time so if you want to read through all of them go ahead but this is just a few highlights that we shared. And then these were all of the project announcements that we had as well that we worked with project teams on. And then this is just from our media and analysts survey. They overall attendees were also really happy media and analysts attendees were also really happy with the experience they brain did it. 4.7 out of five and 4.8 out of five so they would recommend the event. And with that I'll go ahead and handle over to Carl from our analyst relations team who can dive in a bit more. Yeah, in terms of the data coming out of the event I'll look really really solid had a nice representation of both media and analysts firms. Every major analyst firm globally was there, which is always fantastic to see which is great for just distributing that thought leadership that you are working on so hard on. So at the bottom we got some really fantastic quotes that the press and analysts submitted through that survey we just asked them about their experience and so on so that we can always improve it. Always looking to make it better for them and got some really nice feedback so highlighted some of those. Do you want to jump to the next slide if you don't mind. Great. Thank you. So, we went through and we pulled out some highlights from the articles that we that we're coming out that we've already seen coming out from the community. A few key takeaways from the reports. I'll just run through them real quick. The cloud native ecosystem is continuing to grow and is attracting attention in terms of running kubernetes in production kubernetes itself is well on its way to enterprise enterprise adoption, and many of the benefits and challenges remain with as many benefits, but there are a lot of training in terms of opera operationalizing it at scale. And again, these are just kind of normative data from conversations reports and interviews with different analysts throughout the event and after the event. In 2020 to highlighted the expansion of the legs foundation in Europe, and also demonstrated a significant shift in awareness around data production, protection and kubernetes. Some key trends observed at cube con by analysts were Web assembly, generative AI observability, then ops DevOps platform engineering and cloud native security so a few of those are similar to last year. We saw that we saw coming, coming out of Detroit, but a few new ones like Web civilly is popping up and coming up a lot in analyst research. Last one in terms of big trends that we're seeing coming out in analysts research is the parent that how native modern modernization is a top priority for many organizations, according to analyst conversations with CEOs. So we've heard interesting conversations that we had at cube con. But yeah, definitely a top priority which is fantastic. If you want to jump to the next slide that'd be great. Sweet. Thank you. So yeah, obviously, as usual we pulled out a bunch of great research that I feel free to go through some of its public you'll see a markets blog and some of it's going to require subscription usually that's research. But in terms of quotes coming out of some of those articles and pieces of research to my favorite where cloud native, the cloud native world is growing up and filling out breaking through its youthful them. Even as it delivers on its promise and that's john Collins from gig on. It's a pretty solid research firm in the space. And then a net there one was cube con cloud native con Europe 2393. We're back in full first full force this year, as a, as mentioned earlier, it's good that Cuban, clear that Kubernetes with the many benefits for it is well on its way to enterprise adoption that said there are some challenges that enterprise this face when it comes to optimization of Kubernetes at scale. And that was from the evaluator group. So some nice feedback there in terms of potential pain points on the enterprise scale. If you want to jump to the next slide that'd be great. Sweet. Thank you. Yeah, so at the top of this, there's some great research from SMP on the economics of containers. And that's open. I believe you can access that even though it's research. And then also forced to ran a fantastic blog series on wasm. Following cube con, which is definitely worth checking out and that's that's open to everyone because it's a blog to conclude the analyst section the analyst relations section. I wanted to highlight that some research from Lisa star that published just pretty recently, because CNCF influence that report all the way back in Detroit, and it just published like a week or two back. And that just goes to show that analyst research has a really has a lot of nerds behind it. And then although we're seeing a bunch of stuff already coming out from cube con. Some of the best parts and some of the best thought leadership is going to take months before it actually comes out and starts circulating into the business community. Research cycles are far longer. And it's going to take some time for that leadership to propagate into the market. But again, thank you all for your time. And thanks you all for your efforts with thought leadership. It's really doing great with the analyst community. So thank you. Thank you everyone. Moving on to content marketing. I'd like to hand this over to Libby. Hey, y'all. We are rocking and rolling in our last month, officially now of q2 with online programs. Looking back in May we had five live streams with an average of 86.4 viewers per session those are great numbers for the live views and that's between YouTube live and LinkedIn live.

One thing I did want to draw your attention to was our blog highlight for the month with 2710 views was how to run the Jenkins build parameters dynamically.

It was first shed on the infra cloud block so a reminder that as long as you meet the criteria for posting on the blog, you can reshare your content that's already been shared before so please do consider us.

We have several upcoming CFPs KCD Washington 2023 and KCD Australia and my apologies I'll put it in the chat but we also have KCD UK coming up in July. And then just a quick rundown that we have several that are coming up in your region that we'd like for you to check out. Additionally, we do host a KCD if Libby if you want to go to the next slide. We have a KCD organizer interest group we've opened this up to meet up organizers as well so here's some past calendar group calendars that we had with some past conversations, and we will have additional ones on the schedule starting in July. And at this time I'd like to hand it over to Vanessa to talk through events. We just a few updates about some upcoming events.

When registration opens later today, you'll be able to see a list of the CNC have hosted colos that are going to be taking place in Chicago. Submit your talk, the deadline is June 18. So you just have a couple more weeks there to submit and the schedule would be announced on August 30. And I'm going to take a minute. Let me go back to talk about a few additional items regarding cube con cloud native con North America. The first is project opportunities, and then we can Amanda and Chris, I know that you both kind of noted that you had some feedback from cube con EU. So, I would love to hear some of that as well but in regards of project opportunities for cube con cloud native con North America. We will be opening maintainer talks as well as project updates that are on the keynote stage in June so that information will be shared sometime in around the week of June 18. So you'll receive an email, it's going to go to both maintainers and marketing committee that email this time around we did hear that feedback that a lot of projects have marketing support. And that information will also be found on the project benefits page that is on the website when it's announced so when you receive that email you'll also see the project benefits page on the cube con cloud native con website with the information about the maintainer track as well as project updates for the keynote. So we have all the information in one space. And we will be announcing other opportunities so those project meetings which are project, like work session working sessions, and kiosk and PR support all those, all that additional information will be shared in early June, or in early July. So, we're kind of rolling it out into two steps but we did hear that you want succinct information in one space so we're pulling all that information together and releasing it as we have. So at this time, Amanda I know you wanted to talk a little bit about project opportunities and some feedback, we would love to hear what, what you have. So I can do it here slack either way I know other people also said that they had feedback. I think from from the project side thanks for summarizing some of our feedback so far just succinct information. You know, for example, when we go to these websites now project pavilion isn't isn't included on anything. So it says solutions, our solutions showcase maybe I don't have to have it up right now. But it doesn't mention the project pavilion so then what happens is that when you're supporting a lot of projects, you know questions just start flooding, if you know has this been cut is this no longer here you know what what do we need to do from the project standpoint. So just making sure it's clear out of the gate what that footprints going to be when we put up the initial website would be extremely helpful. And thank you for succinctly putting that together. You know all of the deadlines because that will help tremendously. We did have a little bit of issues with shipping stuff into the project pavilion, even though we have the kiosk number and things like that it ended up over at our booth. Which we were able to sort but it would be nice. Just if we could get the shipping down so if there's a kiosk number that you know it does go to the kiosk or if there's other ways in which we should be titling packages so that they get to the kiosk that would be super helpful. And at the metal level I would say that people are reporting that there is a very large trend in the uptick for people going into the project pavilion, I think this is as probably as cloud native goes more mainstream that we're going to see more and more people over in the project pavilion so that was that was really cool to see. And the storage when they just had half day there was no storage so that gets a little bit complicated. Again this comes down to staffing and people wanting to be a part of cube conning learning and teaching during the conference but also having that that project space it would be nice to have storage, even for those half days. Thank you. That is great feedback and that something will take a look into what we're able to provide. As you know, this event has some some space constructions to it so we'll take a look to see if we're able to accommodate the storage but we can work directly with our shipping provider to help alleviate the problems that you saw with the this is not going to the correct booth. And I want to take a moment to allow anyone else on the call to talk about any other project, you know, engagement updates or, or any other feedback that they have regarding EU or even forward looking into North America. But there's no additional feedback, you know, you can feel free to add it to the slack channel. You can also reach out to events at CNCF.io with additional feedback and they can for that on to the appropriate people. Additionally, I wanted to take a minute for us to talk about the MC networking event so we did have a networking event at cube con EU. We did notice that we didn't have quite the turnout that we expected so we wanted to take this time to provide a poll to kind of figure out what it is that you would like to do for North America. So we can start planning an event for us to get together. I don't know whether this is the right moment to ask this question so you can feel free to tell me to pick it up later. But one of the things we were just thinking about that as a team. I was just pinging the team as we were talking about registration. And one of the issues we had was co-located event tickets sold out super early. But one of the limiting factors there is that we quite often get tickets with our speaker passes right so we normally have four or five speakers. And those decisions don't happen until quite a long way down the line so one of the team asked the question, if we are going to register early to avoid the rush. Do we get, do we get money back if our speaker if our speakers are selected and how does that work. Absolutely, that's a great question so you can register early we do encourage that if you are wanting to attend a pillow event that you should absolutely register as early as you can so you get a spot. If you are accepted as a speaker we can go ahead. And then you can go to registration at cncf.io and they would apply that code to your account and then refund you the money. That's amazing that's great news thank you very much. Great and it looks like we're kind of holding steady with this poll so it seems that everyone would like to have a happy hour after sessions on it on one of the days. I'll go ahead and look into that and get information out early. So we can have everyone attend for that. Perfect. And then I'll go ahead. I think. Libby if you want to go to the next slide. And then I'll go ahead and look at the certifications, just some updates on the growth of training for this year. I'll allow each of you to take some time to kind of cruise each of these stats. We've seen some amazing growth as well as as adding in the psyllium training. So we're excited to see the new roll out for things coming forward. Perfect. Yeah. And then I'll at this point conclude our call. Is there any additional questions at this time. I did see Thomas breath there is no virtual booth component or keep on North America. Thank you. All right, great. Thank you everyone for joining us today we really appreciate your feedback and enjoyed getting to give you updates I know it's been a little while since we've gotten together and talked. So we appreciate you, you joining us and being part of this call and we would like to take a minute I think Lori you want to just talk about topics for next call. So if we're going to do that via Slack, we'll just kind of go over that through Slack. Great. Then be aware or be on the lookout for an update on topics for the next call, as well as going to this recording and slides. We did share them via email and on the Slack channel so we'll be sure to share an update post this call as well. Thanks everyone.
