Hive Mind Mingle with Isovalent at KubeCon

Hive Mind is a casual walk-around dinner and mingle co-located to KubeCon and other events to meet and exchange ideas in the cloud native infrastructure space. Hive Mind is modeled off bee colonies that exhibit a swarm intelligence where interactions between individual bees leads to the emergence of “intelligent” global behavior, unknown to the individual agents. The capacity of the hive is unlimited.

Isovalent is passionate about bettering the building blocks of infrastructure in the cloud native space. This requires a community of inspirational and influential minds. As such, we are trying to bring together the most interesting people we can find in various cities over a great meal to discuss, network, and exchange ideas and celebrate a swarm intelligence spirit.

Our goal is to help build meaningful relationships and meaningful understanding of what it takes to build great infrastructure and use it purposefully.

This Hive Mind mingle will be hosted in the iconic Detroit Skyline Restaurant – Highlands Detroit (see directions here), a 3-minute ride from the conference center. 

During this evening, engage with the creators and maintainers of eBPF and Cilium in a casual conversation, exchange ideas, meet your peers from the industry – all while enjoying the views and walk around dinner.

Space is limited for this event, so please register in advance.
