By [Alara Ozturk](https://www.tigera.io/blog/author/alara-ozturk/) on Mar 22, 2023 • 3 min read KubeCon EU 2023 is happening from April 18-21 in Amsterdam. We are very excited to announce that Project Calico will be attending, so come meet us at booth #S28—we’ll be there from 10:30 am onwards! ## Chat and learn At the event, you’ll have an opportunity to meet our Project Calico team, collect cool Calico swags, and ask questions in person. Whether you’re an expert Kubernetes user or just getting started, the Project Calico community is here to provide guidance on best practices and help you get the most out of Calico. Here are some of the things you can learn at our booth: - **Calico eBPF:** Calico supports multiple data planes, including eBPF. The eBPF data plane mode has several advantages, such as scalability to higher throughput, efficient CPU usage, and native support for Kubernetes services. - **Simplified networking:** Calico provides a simple, easy-to-use networking solution for Kubernetes. With Calico, you can easily set up and manage your network infrastructure without worrying about complex configurations or difficult networking concepts. - **Enhanced security:** Security is a top priority for any Kubernetes and container environment, and Calico provides the tools you need to keep your applications safe. With Calico, you can enforce network policies, protect against DDoS attacks, and more. - **Scalability:** Whether you’re running a small Kubernetes cluster or a large-scale deployment, Calico can scale to meet your needs. - **Open-source community:** Built on open-source technologies, Project Calico is part of a vibrant and supportive community. Talk to us to find out how you can contribute not only with code, but also through other activities. ## Presentations and workshops The activities we are participating in are not limited to our booth. You can also attend talks and presentations hosted by our Calico experts, participate in hands-on workshops, and network with other members of the Kubernetes community. - Joint session with Microsoft: Kevin Harris (Microsoft) and Rui De Abreu (Tigera) are holding a joint session at the Microsoft booth (D2) to talk about Detection and Risk Mitigation of Security Threats in Containers and AKS. Starts at 4:45 PM CET—walk-ins welcome, no registration required. Don’t worry—we have more sessions coming your way. Stay connected with us to get the latest updates. We look forward to seeing you at KubeCon EU 2023! ## Connect with us online If you are not able to attend KubeCon EU 2023, you can still learn about Project Calico by: - Visiting our [website](https://www.tigera.io/project-calico/) - Joining the Calico users’ [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/calicousers/shared_invite/zt-1r2sih8a8-b8AllnyWykvM0tOVE3KbfA) - Enrolling in the Calico [certifications courses](https://www.tigera.io/lp/calico-certification/) - Becoming a [Calico Big Cat](https://www.tigera.io/project-calico/calico-big-cats-ambassador-program/) ***Are you a Calico user?
