Our Schedule at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 is just a few days away! The major European cloud native conference kicks off on Monday, March 23rd in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and the kcp project will be there with exciting content and activities on every day!
From talks to lightning sessions, there are plenty of opportunities to learn about kcp and connect with our maintainers. You can meet us at the Project Pavilion on Wednesday, March 25, from 14:00 to 17:00 CET at kiosk 18B — feel free to drop by to chat about kcp or just say hi. 👋
We’re also running a hands-on Contribfest on Thursday, March 26, from 11:00 to 12:15 CET in room G106, where you can explore the kcp architecture, set up a local dev environment, and submit your very first pull request — all with personal guidance from maintainers. No deep prior experience required, just some familiarity with Kubernetes and general development practices. Don’t forget to bring your laptop!
