Call for speakers & sponsors, Kong API Summit 2023!
Our Champions are frequent contributors who play a key role in developing and engaging with Kong’s community all around the globe. You will often find them sharing their expertise and passion through forum discussions, blogging, speaking at local events and at our monthly User Calls. They are the core foundation of our community. With 23 Champions all over the world, the program is expanding rapidly to make a global impact. Our Champions are from all over the world – Germany, USA, Turkey, Brazil, England, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Greece and India.
Our differences and different cultural backgrounds make us who we are, unique! Read more: United as One: Our Kong Champions Program

At Kong, we always strive to keep our Champions engaged and motivated, either by providing them with free training courses, free access to paid tools, direct link to our Engineering or Developer Relations teams for feedback.
