KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe is the flagship conference of the cloud-native community. It rotates between European cities: London in 2025, Amsterdam in 2026 and Barcelona from 15 to 18 March 2027. Around 12,000+ attendees take part (estimate).

Attendees are mostly engineers, SREs and platform teams, with more engineering leaders every year. Hundreds of vendors sponsor the expo, which makes it competitive for anyone selling cloud-native tools.

Passes

Registration opens in October 2026. Past corporate passes ran around $1,000–2,000+ depending on timing, with individual and academic discounts (estimate). A 10% group discount applies to 5+ corporate registrations.

The event app

KubeCon uses a Sched-based app for building your schedule, plus a virtual platform for recordings. It’s a content tool, not a sales tool.

How to prospect KubeCon

  1. List companies running Kubernetes at scale in your target markets.
  2. Identify heads of platform engineering, SRE and infrastructure.
  3. Use speakers and co-located event organisers as warm targets.
  4. Offer technical value (demos, benchmarks) rather than sales pitches.
  5. Separate users from budget holders in follow-up.

Pros and cons

Pros Cons
Concentrated technical audience Buyers are engineers, not always budget holders
Strong open-source community Very crowded sponsor expo
