KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2018 was a major success with recordbreaking registrations, attendance, sponsorships, and co-located events.
The event sold out with 8,000 registrations (and a 1,000+ person waitlist), with only 2.5% percent no-shows, which is extremely rare and much lower than the industry average. Of the 8,000, 73% were first-time KubeCon attendees and 14% were new to open source.
