[ONE Summit 2024] Evolving Together - Cloud Native Telecom's Journey Forward

In our upcoming April session, we'll reflect on LF Networking’s Cloud Native Telecom program journey since our pivotal launch in November. LFN introduced a Test Catalog and Certification Program then, marking key milestones in telecom's cloud native transition. Now, we're looking ahead. The future holds exciting updates: new versions of our certification, expansions to the Test Catalog, and integration of additional tools and resources. We're also focused on collaborating with downstream projects to consume and expand the outputs from our initiatives. This session is an invitation to learn about and join the community in this ongoing evolution. Whether you're a developer, a telecom professional, or an enthusiast in cloud-native technologies, your contribution can drive significant advancements in this field. Be a part of shaping telecom's cloud-native future!
