Join us to celebrate 10 years of the LF Decentralized Trust community at an in person event hosted by the Edge & Node House of Web3 that will also be open for people to join us remotely.
Agenda:n\* Daniela Barbosa
\* Brian Behlendorf
\* Panel on Why Industry Leaders Invest in Open Source Collaboration
LFDT Miami
As financial institutions, tokenization platforms, and public blockchains converge, the ability to move assets and data securely across networks, while maintaining compliance, is becoming mission critical. This webinar with Chainlink Labs, an LFDT member, will explore how the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) are redefining decentralized interoperability and enabling on-chain fund operations across heterogeneous systems.
The webinar will take place on Wednesday, December 17 at 10AM PT/1 PM ET/19:00 CET/11:30 PM IST

Modern applications aren’t just “lift-and-shift” workloads running in Kubernetes. They’re built on a set of principles that span architecture, delivery, operations, and platform readiness. In this webinar, we’ll break down each of these principles and connect them to concrete examples.
\- Recognize and apply the 5 core principles of modern applications across design\, delivery\, and operations\.
\- Learn how GitOps\, observability\, and zero\-trust security fit together into a coherent operating model\.
\- See an example of these principles in practice\.
After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Join Sam Barlien as he unpacks the 2025 State of Platform Engineering report: why platform engineering is “eating the world,” how “shifting down” beats “shifting left,” and what a platform engineering-driven AI-native era means for platforms, teams, and the end of the artisan software engineer.
In this webinar, we will cover:
* Data on salary, maturity, best practices and more from 518 platform engineers
* What the best led platform teams are doing in 2026
* How platform engineering is industrializing the software delivery lifecycle
After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.

Miami Cyber Security for Control Systems
***Industry 4.0 and digital transformation is causing a shift in the risk model for industrial security as the data produced by operations becomes as valuable (or more valuable) than the actual operations. An example could be an electric utility that discounts the cost of electricity as incentive to get permission to use some (or all) of the operations and usage data.***
***The value of the electrons is essentially fixed where the value of the operational data is virtually unlimited. This creates an opportunity for additional profit potential for creation and sale of data products in addition to the electric power to the customer.***
***As the organizational profit center shifts to include operational assets as well as operational data and its path outside of the operational environment, so does the risk.***
***In this presentation, learn how to secure your modern/future industrial organization from the industrial process to the operational data products and beyond.***
