#### \[In-person Event\]

## GitOps Workshop with Kargo and Argo CD, KubeCon, Salt Lake City.

Monday, November 9, 2026  
8:30 AM–12:00 PM or 1:30 PM–5:00 PM  
at Le Meridien Salt Lake City Downtown

Join us for a hands-on Kargo and Argo CD workshop in Salt Lake City on the Monday of KubeCon NA 2026. In this in-person training, you’ll learn how to use Kargo with Argo CD to promote changes across Kubernetes, Terraform, VMs, and cloud services, gated by the checks you define.

[Kargo](https://akuity.io/what-is-kargo), an open source project from Akuity, the team that also created Argo CD, handles promotion while Argo CD handles deployment. Launched in 2023, it has 3,700+ GitHub stars and runs in production at Deutsche Telekom, Cisco ThousandEyes, and JumpCloud.

💻 In this workshop, you'll learn how to:

- Manage Kargo and Argo CD from one interface, with less tool sprawl and context-switching.
- Standardize promotions across Kubernetes, Terraform, VMs, and cloud services.
- Replace the custom scripts and bespoke tooling that add maintenance overhead.
- Track and control each promotion stage, from commit to production.

Space is limited. Save your spot today

Happy Hour with the original creators of Argo CD and Kargo at KubeCon 2026  
Stay after the workshop for drinks and bites, 5:00–7:00 PM at Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown (131 S 300 W). Meet the creators and authors of the Kargo MEAP and get early access to the first 3 chapters. Free to attend.
