KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the flagship conference of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), drawing tens of thousands of open source contributors, platform engineers, and cloud infrastructure professionals each year. The European edition is typically the largest of the three annual KubeCon events, reflecting the strength of the cloud native community across Europe. Sessions span Kubernetes, service mesh, observability, security, platform engineering, and the growing intersection of cloud native infrastructure with AI workloads. Amsterdam is a natural fit - Schiphol Airport offers direct connections from most major cities, the RAI convention centre is well-equipped for events of this scale, and the city itself provides strong accommodation options and a distinctive European character that makes the conference week enjoyable beyond the sessions.
