My Experience at AutoCon3

This is my second time attending the AutoCon event. The first one I went to was last year in Amsterdam (AutoCon1), and it was absolutely amazing. I decided to attend again this year, and AutoCon3 took place from the 26th to the 30th of May. The first two days were dedicated to workshops, and the conference itself ran from the 28th to the 30th. I only attended the conference. I heard there were around 650 attendees at this event, which is great to see.
Network Automation Forum (NAF)
In case you’ve never heard of AutoCon, it’s a community-driven conference focused on network automation, organized by the Network Automation Forum (NAF). NAF brings together people from across the industry to share ideas, tools, and best practices around automation, orchestration, and observability in networking.
They typically hold two conferences each year, one in Europe and one in the USA, or at least that’s how it’s been so far. The European event is usually around the end of May, and the US one takes place around November. Tickets are released in tiers, with early bird pricing being cheaper. I grabbed the early bird ticket for 299 euros as soon as it was announced.
