Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference 2027

The Cloud Native & Open Source AI Conference is a one-day London event run by Community Stack, a South Yorkshire company that operates a network of UK tech meetups and small regional conferences on cloud, platform engineering and AI. The 2027 edition on Thursday 24 June is the second: the first was held in June 2026 at BrainStation London and drew a couple of hundred registrations, and the organisers promise more tracks and speakers this time. It is aimed at practitioners and their leads: platform, DevOps, cloud and DevSecOps engineers, staff and principal engineers, and heads of platform or cloud from across the UK. The published themes sit where Kubernetes meets AI: running AI workloads on Kubernetes, platform engineering for AI teams, multi-cloud architectures, service mesh and infrastructure as code, open-source LLMs and agent tooling such as MCP, observability and reliability for AI systems, cost control and GreenOps, plus security and governance. The format is multi-track and in person; venue, agenda and ticket prices had not been announced as of mid-October 2026. A speaker call is open through Community Stack's speaking guide, and the event page asks for practitioner stories about things teams shipped or hard lessons learned. A modest, early-stage event, useful for London engineers who want a local cloud-native day with an AI slant.
