KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2027

The CNCF has confirmed New Orleans as the host city for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2027, running from 8 to 11 November 2027. So far the official page is a save-the-date with a mailing-list sign-up: venue, registration, prices, the call for proposals and the co-located line-up are still to be announced. If it follows the shape of recent North American editions, the Monday will be co-located day, with CNCF-hosted events on platform engineering, observability, GitOps, security and AI infrastructure, followed by three days of keynotes, maintainer sessions, breakouts and the sponsor expo. For planning purposes, the 2026 call for proposals closed at the end of May and the schedule appeared in early August, so speakers should expect a similar spring deadline; and 2026 passes ranged from $200 for academic attendees to $2,278 for a late corporate All-Access pass. Recordings of keynotes and breakouts from recent editions are on the CNCF YouTube channel, which is the easiest way to decide whether the trip is worth it. It comes eight months after the European edition in Barcelona in March 2027. Worth pencilling in now if your team runs Kubernetes and needs to plan travel budgets a year ahead.
