Grafana is organizing its first-ever ObservabilityCON from October 26-29, inviting the community to participate in tech talks and product announcements focused on observability. The event offers speaking opportunities for practitioners to share strategies, projects, and favorite open-source tools, with a call for proposals open until September 22. Encouraging submissions from first-time speakers and underrepresented groups, the conference aims to cover various topics such as adoption strategies, scaling challenges, alerting, distributed tracing, and career paths in observability. Attendees will have the chance to explore innovative uses of tools like Prometheus, Loki, and Graphite, and engage in discussions about both technical and non-technical aspects of observability. The event seeks to provide insights and inspiration for participants at all stages of their observability journey.
