+description: "AKS Community Calls - Monthly sessions to foster closer connection with the AKS community"
+date: 2025-01-13

+
+As we start 2025, we are thrilled to announce a new initiative from the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Product Group: The **AKS Community Calls**. These monthly sessions are designed to foster a closer connection with our community, providing a platform to discuss the product roadmap and address your questions directly
+
+## So what should you expect from the AKS Community Calls?
+
+The AKS Community Calls are a fantastic opportunity for users to stay informed about the latest developments and upcoming features in AKS. Each session will include a review of the AKS public feature roadmap, which outlines features currently in development, available for public preview, and generally available. This roadmap will be a key focus of our discussions, offering valuable insights into what’s coming next for AKS.
+You will also have opportunity to post your questions that will be answered directly by the AKS product team during the call.
+
+
+## When and Where
+
+These calls will be held every third Wednesday of the month at 8 AM PST (4 PM GMT). Our first session is scheduled for January 15th at 8 AM PST / 4 PM GMT. This invite is open to everyone, and we encourage all AKS users and enthusiasts to join us
+
+## How to Join?
+For more details and to join the calls, please visit - [aka.ms/AKS/CommunityCalls](https://aka.ms/AKS/CommunityCalls)
+
+
+We look forward to seeing you all on our first AKS Community Call later this week! 
+Let’s make 2025 a year of growth and innovation together.
