_KubeCon
Europe 2024_

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 in Paris is THE largest European conference for adopters and technologists from leading open source and cloud native communities. We were representing Mercedes-Benz as a Platinum Sponsor at this event and as a CNCF Gold Member.Visitors joined us from March 20-22 at our booth for exchange and insights into our work with cloud native technologies. The best part? Our developers shared their expertise in keynote talks at our booth, covering our open source contributions as an end-user, our work with Kubernetes as well as our involvement in the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS).

We were excited to welcome so many visitors at our booth, to share our expertise and to have inspiring exchanges with them. If you want to look back on our KubeCon appearance, gain insights into the talks at our booth and learn about our contributions in the cloud native and open source environment, check out the information below.
