Beautiful city, impressive conference
Dalian is a coastal city in the northeast of China, it is not only famous for its delicious seafood, and comfortable living environment, but also for the IT high-tech industry. A lot of top foreign companies have sites in DaLian, such as IBM, Oracle, SAP, Rakuten, etc. IT developers have exceeded 2.5 million.
However, Dalian never held such big Cloud Native events before. Meetup (a half day, 4-5 topics) was organized by China Cloud Native Community in 2020,2021 and 2022. So organizing such big events is a huge challenge for organizers, Kevin,Addo and Mike. A lot of things needed to be done, such as looking for sponsors, CFP, hotel reservations, participants check-in, and so on.
Fortunately, all the problems were solved because of our great sponsors, and excellent volunteers:
