Hi everyone,
At KubeCon Europe in March 2026, we’ll be trying out a new, lightweight event format proposed by CNCF in the Cloud Native Theater space.
Over the next ~2 weeks, we’ll be collecting proposals from maintainers and end users, and then selecting 5–7 talks to be presented in Amsterdam in March 2026.
You can submit your proposal(s) here: https://forms.gle/kdxasBk9roDa2Kmk9
Event format and content
2.5 hours total (2 hours of content) of project-curated, vendor-neutral sessions
Formats: lightning talks and sessions
Sessions will be included in the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe schedule
Content will be recorded; AV and staff support provided by CNCF
Participation
Up to 5 speakers will receive complimentary KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Conference Only passes
Speaking at this event does not count against speaker limits for the main KubeCon + CloudNativeCon CFP or CNCF-hosted co-located events
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me here or reach out in the Envoy Slack channel.
Thanks,
Chris
