About the Conference

The Cloud Native & Open Source AI Global Conference brings together engineers and leaders who build AI systems on cloud-native platforms — from Kubernetes-based AI platforms to open source LLM deployments and agentic systems.

A full-day virtual experience delivering practitioner-led content with no vendor-heavy sessions and no surface-level demos — just builders sharing what actually works in production.
