Looking for something to do upon arrival in San Diego? Join other attendees at our informal (and no-host) Dine-up Meet-ups at restaurants near the convention center. Restaurants are open outside hours listed below and discounts will be honored outside these times as well.
A few tables will be reserved for those wearing their event badge or able to show their event confirmation email and you’ll also receive 15% off your total bill (not applicable to happy hour offers). Bonus: Karaoke starts at 8:00 PM so don’t be shy to show off your vocal prowess!
If you chose to forego a co-located event or just got into town, these restaurants are next door to one another and will be catering to the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon crowd and offering 10% off your total bill. Don’t hesitate to go meet up and get to know someone new in the community!

The community collectively has an immense depth of knowledge and expertise which we can explore and learn from at this collaborative event. Whether you’re new, or not so new, to open source and the cloud native community, we invite you to register to attend the KubeCon Networking + Mentoring Session. You’ll have the chance to meet with experienced open source veterans across many CNCF projects. You will be paired with two other people in a pod like setting to explore technical and community questions together.
Are you part of a SIG? An ambassador of a cloud native project and want to help others with using or contributing to your project? Are you a code committer? An issue opener? A documentation writer? We’re looking for mentors of all backgrounds and experience levels (including new folks!) across the entire ecosystem with technical, community, and career experience to sign up for one or both sessions. Even if you’re a new comer, if you’ve even successfully navigated the PR process you have skills and insights to share! We will provide you with FAQs of attendees upfront so you know what to expect. Sign up here to be a mentor and help hundreds.
