Every community needs a village, and CloudFest needs some more space as this festival continues to grow—so we are excited to announce the launch of CloudFest Village, which adds a few thousand square meters to CloudFest 2026. This is the single biggest addition to this festival, and we can’t wait for you to experience it in person.
Here’s what you will find when you get to CloudFest Village…
WebPros Cloud Pavilion
This 1,000sqm indoor-outdoor space includes the WebPros Stage with three days of programming, bar/cafe, swag shop, and its own exhibition area. This will also be the meeting point for our Speed Networking and some of the Guided Tours. Some of our headline speakers will be taking the stage here: check the agenda for details!
Registration and Information Desk
This is where many attendees pick up their badges: if you’re smart enough to work with internet infrastructure, you probably already figured that out already. (Attendees staying at Europa-Park’s amazingly-detailed theme hotels will have their badges waiting for them upon check-in.) This desk also has dedicated info services for partners and VIP pass-holders.
Server Throwing Arena
This is where the excitement and drama of the World Server Throwing Championship plays out—and bigger crowds, more participants, and longer throws call for a larger arena.
You can already feel it, right?
The cheers of victory.
The bitter tears when a server slides sideways instead of forward.
The loud CRUNCH when hardware spectacularly fails due to kinetic impact.
The roar of the crowd: this must be what the Roman Colosseum was like.
The Men’s and Women’s Preliminaries take place on Tuesday, March 24; and the Grand Final happens on March 25. Find out all about Server Throwing at CloudFest.
Street Food Festival
You know what’s better than a food truck? That’s right: multiple food trucks. We’re gathering a selection of mobile cuisine facilitators to give you another option during lunchtime besides the restaurants available to all of our attendees. These vehicles will fire up their tiny kitchens Tuesday-Thursday, making the Street Food Festival a great choice for partners working in the Cloud Fair exhibition hall who want a quick bite close by. (This tasty traffic jam is a pay-as-you-go culinary adventure, and not included with your registration.)
CloudFest Village is just one of the ways in which we’re reinventing the CloudFest experience as we get both bigger and better. Taking place March 23-26 at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, the world’s #1 internet infrastructure event will explore the theme of The Sustainability of Everything, bringing together over 10,000 leaders in the Cloud and IT spaces. The only question is… where will you be?
