CNCF is delighted to announce the finalized schedule for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 in Paris, France from 19 to 22 March.
From AI to WASM, eBPF, and environmental sustainability, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe is the place to experience everything cloud native has to offer and also take a deep dive into new and promising technologies. Attendees can choose from 223 sessions, keynotes, lightning talks, and breakout sessions, as well as 90 CNCF project maintainer-hosted sessions.
Unlike most other conferences, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe is community curated so attendees are sure to find the presentations relevant, timely, and fine-tuned for the rapidly changing technology landscape. In fact, the event co-chairs – Aparna Subramanian of Shopify, Kasper Nissen of Lunar, and Nikhita Raghunath of VMware – worked with the program committee and track chairs to review 2541 incredible submissions, distilling them into an inspiring and informative event.
“Based on the content we have received, attendees can expect to dive deeper into artificial intelligence, including new requirements, and how to ensure privacy, security, and compliance,” explained Kasper Nissen, Staff Engineer at Lunar and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon conference co-chair. “Platform engineering is another big topic to look out for as it expands into the ML/AI space. We hope to see everyone there!”
The community-curated schedule consists of a vast array of thought-provoking talks, including:
- Keynote: Optimizing Performance and Sustainability for AI – Lu Qiu, AI Platform Tech Lead, Alluxio; Susan Wu, Outbound Product Manager, Google; Victor Jakubiuk, Head of AI, Ampere Computing; Ricardo Rocha, Computing Engineer, CERN
