Important access note
You need an in-person all-access pass for on-site access to Observability Day. For details, see KubeCon registration. If you have a virtual ticket, you will be able to follow Observability Day through a live stream.OpenTelemetry Observatory
Drop by and say “Hi!” at OpenTelemetry Observatory presented by Splunk in the Expo Hall. This will be a place for informal chats, meetups, and other discussions led by OpenTelemetry community members and maintainers. For the activity schedule, see the OTel Observatory Calendar.
If you’d like to participate and lead a discussion or short presentation, reach out to the OpenTelemetry End User Working Group to indicate your interest.
You can help us improve the project by sharing your thoughts and feedback about your OpenTelemetry adoption, implementation, and usage.
To join a feedback session, book online below. All times in Central European Time (CET).
- March 20th, 11:45-12:45: End User Feedback Session - .NET & .NET Auto-Instrumentation
