I'm really looking forward to attending KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025 in Hyderabad! 🎉 This is my first KubeCon, so I'm reaching out to get some advice. What should I keep in mind as a first-time attendee? Are there any must-see talks, workshops, or sessions? I'll be going solo, so I'd love tips on networking and meeting people. What's the vibe like – is it formal or casual? Also, what should I pack for the day, and any local food or activities I shouldn't miss after the event? If anyone else is going, let's connect! Thanks in advance 🙏

I’m attending KubeCon too! I’ve been jotting down talks I really want to catch. Here's a blog I wrote with my must-see sessions if you need help planning your agenda! [Check it out](https://metalbear.co/blog/kubecon-india-2025/)
I'm going too, and I'd love to meet up! It’ll be nice to connect with others. The vibe is usually pretty chill—people are really open and friendly. Just wear some casual clothes; don’t stress about formal attire!
DM me!
My colleague and I are also attending! We're pretty outgoing, so feel free to join us if you're worried about networking. Everyone’s usually really friendly, so it should be fun!
Definitely be bold and don’t hesitate to talk to anyone, even if they look intimidating! Most are nice. Ask questions after the talks and try to network earlier in the day because energy fades post-lunch. Pack light; you really don’t need much!
You don't need to pack anything!
Good list!
