Community is the DNA of Kong. As we continue to grow, we are committed to fostering a strong community and creating opportunities for our customers and all Kong users to interact, to learn, and to share their expertise. Kong is driven by our community, and we are devoted to helping our customers to learn, grow, and be successful.
The Kong Champions program is our way of acknowledging and celebrating customers for being our, well, champions! From special opportunities to share your expertise, to early product access – not to mention the exclusive swag – there’s a ton to be gained by joining the inner circle of Champions.
Our Champions are our top advocates who play a key role in engaging and growing Kong’s global presence. They share their expertise and passion through forum discussions, blogs, video testimonials, webinars, or speaking at events. They are the core foundation of our community.
We have Champions all around the world, representing customers of all sizes and stages, as well as representatives of our open source user community and our partner ecosystem.
Professional Development: Show off your expertise and build your brand through created content, webinars & user calls, and speaking opportunities, like at our API Summit.
First Look: Get early access to new product features and be the first to share your feedback. You’ll have the chance to shape the future of our Kong products.
Connect with Peers: Meet your fellow Kong enthusiasts from around the world to share your wins (and problem-solve your challenges). Attend exclusive Kong Champion-only events curated specifically for this group.
And yes, there will also be extra-special swag!
As a Champion, you’ll tell us about your interests, goals, and your specific areas of expertise. We’ll share opportunities for ways you can contribute, as well as the rewards and swag that you can earn through these contributions. We ask all of our Champions to be active in our community and participate in at least 1 activity per quarter. Here are some examples of ways you can contribute:
As part of the Champions program, we offer a wide range of perks. Some of these include:
Access to a private, Champions-only group
Direct links to our Product and Engineering teams to provide feedback
Recognition for your expertise in the broader market
Connection with other Kong users and industry leaders
The opportunity to shape the future of Kong and our products
Access to exclusive, Champions-only events
