Work across the Argo Project is accelerating, with growing adoption, new use cases, and more maintainers contributing across the community. The community is also beginning the visioning process for Argo CD 4.0, making ArgoCon an opportunity to connect around what users are building today and where the projects are heading next.
From a virtual gathering to a global community
The first ArgoCon was a virtual event that brought together almost 4,000 attendees. It featured Argo creator Pratik Wadher alongside project maintainers and was hosted through a collaboration between Intuit, Red Hat, and Codefresh, now part of Octopus Deploy.
Since then, ArgoCon has taken place both as a standalone event and alongside KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, with events held across three continents.
At the heart of the event is the breadth of the Argo Project itself. Argo encompasses four projects: Argo CD, Argo Workflows, Argo Rollouts, and Argo Events. They can be used together, but each addresses distinct challenges and is also used independently by teams.
Much like Kubernetes, the Argo projects provide building blocks that teams can use to create systems suited to their own requirements. Bringing the community together gives practitioners an opportunity to show what they have built, discuss how they are approaching technical challenges, and exchange best practices.
Why ArgoCon?
ArgoCon creates a dedicated space for Argo maintainers and practitioners to exchange implementation experience, technical lessons, and ideas.
The breadth of those experiences reflects the different ways the projects are being used. Previous community discussions have included Argo CD running on satellites, approaches to scaling Argo CD beyond 60,000 applications, and the use of Argo Workflows for machine learning across large datasets.
For attendees of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, ArgoCon offers an opportunity to go deeper into these projects and learn directly from maintainers and practitioners working with them.
What will the day look like?
ArgoCon North America 2026 will be a full-day, two-track event, with talks covering the different Argo projects as well as examples of how they can be used together.
The day will begin with keynotes from project maintainers covering recent developments and what to expect from upcoming versions. The program will then move into talks from members of the community sharing their experiences and approaches.
Breaks and refreshments throughout the day will also provide time to continue conversations with other attendees, maintainers, and organizations participating in the Argo ecosystem.
What will attendees take away?
Attendees can expect practical ideas for improving software delivery, managing data and machine learning pipelines, and implementing progressive delivery.
Sessions will share best practices as well as lessons from real-world implementations, including situations where things did not go as planned and what others can learn from those experiences. Attendees will also hear about new features and the direction of the individual Argo projects.
Who will get the most out of attending?
ArgoCon is relevant to practitioners, administrators, users, platform teams, and engineering leaders interested in the Argo projects and the problems they address.
Whether you are already operating Argo in production or want to understand how other teams are approaching software delivery, workflows, events, and progressive delivery, the event provides an opportunity to learn from both project maintainers and fellow community members.
Should I do any homework first?
No specific preparation is required, but attendees may find it useful to arrive with questions and experiences they would like to discuss.
That might include something you have always wondered about, an implementation that worked particularly well, or a situation that did not go as expected. Sharing those experiences and questions with maintainers and other community members helps the community learn from one another and informs the continuing evolution of the projects.
Find your community
ArgoCon is ultimately about bringing together the people building, maintaining, and using the Argo projects.
By creating space to share technical experiences, challenges, successes, and questions, the event gives community members an opportunity not only to learn from one another but also to contribute feedback and ideas that can help move the projects forward.
