GrafanaCON 2025 is scheduled to take place in Seattle from May 6-8, offering a three-day event filled with technical sessions, live demos, user stories, and networking opportunities centered around Grafana and its open-source ecosystem, including Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Loki, Mimir, and Tempo. Registration is open with early access available for those interested in attending, and there is a call for presentations from open-source contributors and practitioners to share their insights and experiences. The event will also feature the Golden Grot Awards, celebrating outstanding Grafana dashboards in personal and professional categories, with winners receiving a trip to Seattle to be honored on stage. As the date approaches, the community is encouraged to participate by submitting talks and dashboards, marking this as a key gathering for users and developers in the Grafana community.
