The Spec-tacular Game Show - Liudmila Molkova, Microsoft; Ted Young, ServiceNow; Tyler Helmuth & Alex Boten, Honeycomb
Thursday June 26, 2025 3:10pm - 3:45pm MDT
OTel Room
From OTLP to OTTL, engineers are excited about a lot of things. But there is one thing that excites them above all else and that is correcting people. Welcome to “The Spec-tacular Game Show”.

In this fun game show our panelists will be given incorrect statements about the OpenTelemetry Specification or Semantic Convention. The panelists will buzz in, identify what’s wrong, and state the correction. If none of the panelists know the answer the audience will get a chance to answer to steal the point. The panelist (or audience) with the most points wins!

After each question we’ll spend a time explaining why the Spec and Semconv is the way it is and highlight how it produces the production-quality telemetry you know and love. Join us for a fun, relaxing, (snarky) panel about everyone’s favorite part of Otel!
