Overview
The Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference 2027 is an in-person, practitioner-first event for engineers, architects and technology leaders working with cloud native infrastructure, Kubernetes, open source AI and production AI systems. It is part of Community Stack’s Cloud, Platform & Open Source ecosystem. The conference is designed to share practical experience and real-world stories from people building and operating these technologies. Organisers expect around 300 attendees from more than 60 companies, with participants from across the UK and Europe.
Date and location
The conference takes place on Thursday, 24 June 2027, in London, England. The venue has not yet been announced. The event is in person, with a multi-track format. The 2027 agenda and speaker lineup are also forthcoming. The page offers ways to register interest, submit a talk, and enquire about sponsorship; it does not provide confirmed ticket prices or a detailed schedule.
Topics
Planned subject areas span cloud native infrastructure, AI and open source, production operations, and security and governance. Infrastructure topics include Kubernetes and AI workloads, cloud native architectures, multi-cloud AI systems, platform engineering for AI, service mesh and networking, and infrastructure as code. AI and open source coverage includes open source large language models, agentic AI systems, AI infrastructure tooling, model deployment at scale, MCP and agent frameworks, and open source AI toolchains.
Operational themes include running AI in production, observability, workload scaling, performance and reliability, cost optimisation (FinOps), and sustainable AI (GreenOps). Security and governance topics include AI agent access control, DevSecOps for AI systems, compliance and responsible AI, supply chain security, and cloud native security patterns. These are topic areas listed by the organisers, not a confirmed session schedule.
Who should attend
The event is intended for people doing hands-on technical work as well as technology leaders. Roles highlighted include CTOs, engineering and platform leaders, AI leaders, senior and principal engineers, solutions and cloud architects, platform engineers, DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud engineers, AI and ML engineers, data engineers, and DevSecOps engineers. The page notes that attendees of Community Stack events work at organisations across sectors, including technology companies, financial services, public bodies, healthcare, retail and education.
Speakers and programme
The 2027 agenda will be announced soon, and the page does not yet name confirmed speakers for this edition. The site features talks and speakers from the 2026 conference as examples of the previous edition, including sessions on Kubernetes user experience, platform security, agent stacks, interpretation errors at scale, and hiring cloud native and AI engineers. Those past speakers and talks should not be taken as confirmed for 2027.
Participation and sponsorship
The call for speakers is open. The organisers invite practitioners to submit talks about work they have shipped, lessons learned, or decisions that mattered, and provide a speaking guide. Sponsorship is also open, with Headline, Platinum, Gold and Community packages mentioned; details are available through the conference packages link. The 2026 edition was hosted at BrainStation London, but the 2027 venue remains to be announced.
