KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026

About

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 is the flagship annual conference of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, bringing together adopters and technologists from the leading open source and cloud native communities. Held over four days in Salt Lake City, Utah, the event covers Kubernetes, containers, observability, security, service mesh, and platform engineering through keynotes, breakout sessions, and a large solutions showcase. A substantial programme of co-located events runs alongside the main conference, including ArgoCon, CiliumCon, and Platform Engineering Day, each dedicated to a specific project or discipline within the ecosystem. The conference is where CNCF graduated, incubating, and sandbox projects converge, giving attendees direct access to the maintainers who develop them. Engineers, SREs, and platform teams gain practical guidance on running cloud native infrastructure at scale, alongside extensive networking across the open source community. For practitioners working with Kubernetes and cloud native technology, this remains the definitive North American event of the year.
