<p>A small army of community volunteers is necessary to host a KubeCon, but behind them is a professional events team. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmickey/">Colleen Mickey</a> is Director of Event Services at the Linux Foundation and is responsible for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, as well as other events like Hyperledger Global Forum and cdCon. She talks to us about hosting, feeding and watering 10,000 people, as well as the change to virtual events.</p> <p>We also bring the round-up of the KubeCon news, including our famous Lightning Round.</p> <p>Do you have something cool to share? Some questions?
