This is also the location for the main Registration and Information Desk. 

NETWORKING

Street Food Festival 

We hope you like food trucks, because we’re bringing quite a few of them to Europa-Park! This is the tastiest traffic jam ever: you’ll find a variety of cuisine options, all included in your festival pass.

PROGRAM

Six Topic Tracks

We will approach our 2026 festival theme of “The Sustainability of Everything” through six topic tracks that will run throughout the festival. Instead of daily subthemes, this new structure will help you and your team tackle your biggest challenges while also building deeper expertise in new areas.


LOCATION

Biergarten at the Dome

Don’t ask us why we didn’t do this 20 years ago, but it’s happening now! Now when you enter the main Dome at the main CloudFest venue, you’ll find an indoor-outdoor beer garden, available to all attendees. Why wait until BierFest for such a classic German experience?

Social MEDIA

Podcast Studio

It seems like everybody has a podcast now! As we welcome the most influential voices in the Cloud, we’re making it easier than ever for them to record, produce, and broadcast their podcasts for a hungry global audience. If you’re interested in becoming a CloudFest Media Partner, let us know!

LOCATION

New Spaces, New Floorplan

There’s more CloudFest this year, geographically speaking. Not only are we using spaces we’ve never used before (Hello, Spanish Server Throwing Arena!), but we’re also changing the overall floorplan to make the best use of what we have. With around 10,000 expected this year, every square meter counts! So if it’s your first Cloudfest or your 20th, you will definitely want to use the event app for wayfinding—and you can always ask our friendly and sharply-dressed event team!
