Swiss Apéro at KubeCon.

An evening for 80–100 people from the cloud native community, free for everyone who attends. Sponsors fund it together: the more you contribute, the larger your logo appears on this page.

why a crowdfunded apéro

organized byThe GoGrow Company

I've organized the Swiss Apéro for four years, and I love doing it. This year I almost didn't, because I'm busy with my passion project, kubeboat.io. But then where would we meet? Meeting in person matters.

Sponsors have always wanted different things. Some came for leads, some for the community, and some simply wanted to support a good cause. This year I'm not bending the event to fit every interest. It's one evening, one shared budget, and everyone who contributes is part of it.

If you want to meet the Swiss community at KubeCon, help me crowdfund the evening.
