This year, the CFP for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 will close on 12 October, which is earlier than usual because KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe happens earlier than usual in March, which compresses the planning window. To deliver the highest-impact event — and ensure the Amsterdam schedule has the time to get the buzz and attention it deserves — we’re shifting the timeline forward. 

Let the Networking Begin

We encourage you to utilize your CNCF networks to host collaborative brainstorm sessions to discuss ideas. Recorded sessions from other 2025 KubeCon + CloudNativeCons are a great source of inspiration. 

While the CFP will close on 12 October, the energy and collaboration at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America will be a great place to refine your cloud native narrative — and maybe even plant seeds (peach, of course) for other speaking opportunities.

We’re excited to see your ideas — and we’re here to support you. Let’s shape an unforgettable KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 together.
