The 2026 event takes place at Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The organizer identifies adopters, technologists, and people from open source and cloud native communities as attendees.
It is most worthwhile for platform engineers and open source maintainers who work with CNCF projects, since Graduated, Incubating and Sandbox projects all take part and the speakers include Jago Macleod of the Kubernetes and GKE group, Jorge Palma of Azure Kubernetes Service and Jeff Hoffman of OCI container services. Buyers who need a narrow vendor comparison may find the scope too broad for that purpose.
Attendees at cloud native developer conferences usually wear jeans or casual trousers, t-shirts or project and company swag, and sneakers, with a light layer for cool November weather in Salt Lake City.
