Cloud Native AI Summit Europe 2026

Cloud Native AI Summit is a commercially run but vendor-neutral conference about running Kubernetes-based platforms and AI workloads in production, and the Paris meeting on 2 and 3 December 2026 is its first European edition. It is one of the co-located events inside FOST Paris, a three-day umbrella of software conferences at CNIT Forest in La Défense, so a ticket puts attendees in a large venue with several other events around them. The audience it targets is senior platform engineers, SREs, cloud architects and LLMOps engineers from larger organisations, and talks are in English. The call for proposals lists three tracks: infrastructure, platform and AI inference engineering (multi-cluster orchestration, GPU infrastructure, storage for AI); architecture and agents (event-driven design, evaluating models in CI/CD); and operations, security and governance (day-2 operations, data sovereignty, air-gapped deployments, supply-chain security). Sessions are 25-minute talks and 10-minute lightning talks, with co-located workshops and a sponsor expo. Announced speakers include Liz Rice of Isovalent and Andrew Block of Red Hat. The Sessionize call stays open until 31 October 2026, although the organisers were already notifying accepted speakers in September; speakers pay their own travel. Tickets run from EUR 99 super-early to EUR 499 regular.
