Summit 2021

Information

Summit 2021

Back by popular demand, we’re excited to announce the eBPF Summit 2021.

Connecting end-users

The eBPF Summit brings together end-users and the eBPF developer community for two days of exciting content all around eBPF.

Trending technologies

eBPF is quickly becoming one of the most talked about technologies in our industry - enabling a new generation of networking, observability and security tools.

Sharing experience

Just like last year, we will hear from both end-users sharing their experience using eBPF as well as developers actively working on eBPF and eBPF projects.
