About KubeCon NA 2026
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America runs November 9–12, 2026 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, with 9,000–12,000 attendees. The program covers Kubernetes, cloud native storage, platform engineering and running AI workloads on container infrastructure.
Who should attend
Attendees include platform engineers, Kubernetes operators, cloud native storage and CSI developers, and MLOps teams.
Why it matters
Decisions about CSI drivers, object storage integration and AI-on-Kubernetes patterns are largely made in this community, and they increasingly govern how GPU clusters are provisioned and fed. The conference is the clearest annual view of how cloud native infrastructure is absorbing AI workloads.
