1 Festival,
6 Topic Tracks
We will approach our 2026 festival theme of “The Sustainability of Everything” through six topic tracks that will run throughout the festival. This way you and your team can tackle your biggest challenges while also building deeper expertise throughout your entire technology and service stack.
–TRACK 1–
Cybersecurity & Compliance
Zero Trust, Maximum Confidence
As AI rewrites the rules of attack and defense, speed is everything—and the stakes have never been higher. Meanwhile, Cloud providers must navigate a growing patchwork of global rules, build adaptable systems—and address compliance as strategy, not obstacle.
This track brings together ethical hackers, compliance experts, service providers, and open source leaders to confront the reality of today’s cybersecurity landscape: trust is earned under fire, and resilience is now a shared responsibility across the entire stack.

AI-Powered Cloud Solutions
Clouds with Brains
As AI becomes foundational to your operations, together let’s examine exactly how it’s reshaping infrastructure—from performance boosts to operational ethics—and what this all means for the human beings who must run the show.

Corporate IT Evolved
The Future is Always On
The enterprise development world is shifting fast. Even as you seek to upgrade legacy infrastructure and refresh outdated supply chains, the status quo is constantly changing.
This track explores the evolution of Cloud-native DevOps culture, tools, and organizational structures—highlighting how teams build, deploy, and recover in a reshaped world. If you’re responsible for the big technology decisions at your company, this track is tailor-made for you.

Data Sovereignty
The Right Passport for Your Data
Digital borders are hardening, and it’s not the same everywhere. Learn how Cloud providers and those responsible for MLOps are making sure that the right data is in the right place in a rapidly-changing world. The nature of borders is shifting, so every CSP and MSP needs to accommodate for that—so build your strategy and start executing it at CloudFest.

Finding the Future
Thought leadership that actually leads somewhere
This track is where Cloud leaders step back from day-to-day operations and talk about what really matters: how to build systems that last, scale responsibly, and serve real human and business needs. This is where strategy meets sustainability, and principles meet performance. Dig into how you’ll stay relevant and re-earn your place in a world of smart assistants, ambient interfaces, and evolving trust signals. Expect sharp thinking, long-term vision, and unapologetically opinionated perspectives on what’s next—and what’s worth building.
