KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: Your Week in Salt Lake City

Read on cncf.io

Summary

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2026 runs Nov 9‑12 in Salt Lake City, offering four days of keynotes, breakout sessions, maintainer tracks, and co‑located events covering Kubernetes, AI, observability, security, and platform engineering. In‑person attendance (All‑Access Pass) is needed for hands‑on ContribFests and CNCF‑hosted events; recordings will be posted later.

  • Monday hosts CNCF co‑located events (Agentics, ArgoCon, BackstageCon, etc.) and Project Lightning Talks; only All‑Access Pass includes them.
  • Maintainer Track sessions span core topics (autoscaling, security, GitOps) and emerging AI workloads like AI‑aware networking and GPU support.
  • ContribFests provide hands‑on labs for projects such as Harbor, OpenTelemetry, Argo CD, and Meshery, ideal for first‑time contributors.
  • Recordings of all keynotes and breakouts will be released on CNCF YouTube within two weeks, but live interaction is only available on‑site.

Cloud native engineers planning to attend KubeCon need to know the schedule, pass options, and hands‑on opportunities to maximize the value of the event.
