What is Civo Navigate?

In 2022, we announced Civo Navigate, a tech conference packed with talks and workshops focused on bringing together the cloud native community and creating an environment where everyone can share ideas, collaborate and learn more. This event has become a great opportunity for developers, engineers, and C-level execs alike to stay up-to-date on their field's latest technologies and trends.

Over the past 2 years, we have held 4 flagship events in Tampa, London, Texas, and Berlin. As well as this, we hosted a smaller, bite-sized event known as Navigate Local in Tampa to help us bring the essence of our larger Civo Navigate events to a local setting.
