The Kubernetes and Cloud Native community will gather once again at the vibrant city of Porto, Portugal. Join us for a two-day technical event loaded with exciting talks, workshops and networking opportunities. KCD Porto is aimed at developers, platform people, and other IT professionals interested in cloud native technologies.

Kubernetes Community Days Sri Lanka (KCD Sri Lanka) 2025 marks the third time this incredible event is being held in Sri Lanka, proudly supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This community-organized event continues to foster the growth and sustainability of the Kubernetes and cloud-native community, bringing together adopters and technologists from open source and cloud-native ecosystems.

Sri Lanka is home to a thriving group of Cloud Native enthusiasts, students, professionals, and technology leaders. KCD Sri Lanka serves as a vital platform for this community to come together, while also connecting with tech communities across India and neighboring countries. Attendees are offered a unique opportunity to experience the spirit of conferences like KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, enriched by the vibrant cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.

We invite you to be part of this exciting journey where technology meets tradition — creating meaningful connections, driving innovation, and contributing to the advancement of the cloud-native landscape.

KCD UK is moving to Edinburgh for 2025: the UK's finest community-organised event bringing together individuals and organisations from across the Cloud Native ecosystem to learn, network and collaborate. Kubernetes Community Days UK is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and organised by community group leaders. Over the course of two days we will share stories of people using cloud native technologies, both successes and failures - through in-depth technical talks, demonstrations of open source projects and workshops. We are excited to welcome back our community in person, and we look forward to getting as many CFP submissions as possible! Please read the guidelines and questions carefully if you are thinking of submitting. And if you have more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@kcduk.io  

Submission Details

Talks are either 30 minutes in length, including Q&A (which is completely optional) or lightning talks of 5 minutes.

Talk sessions can include up to 2 speakers, and topics should be relevant to the current state of the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Ecosystem. Some topics we would love to see:

• Success and failure stories - Experiences from the trenches are highly valuable to the community.
• Technical deep-dives - Share your expertise on technical topics.
• Open Source project demonstrations - Do you contribute to a project that’s part of the Kubernetes and Cloud Native ecosystem? Talk about the what, why, and how!

Please limit the submissions per company to 5. This is to help us when we're reviewing and scoring the submissions. We want everyone to have an equal opportunity to speak.

Please note: Vendor-focused talks and sales pitches aren't likely to impress our program committee. We welcome submissions from vendors, however, please ensure your talk aligns with the community focus and is relevant to the Cloud Native open source ecosystem.

First time speaker?

Fear not! Community driven conferences are a great place to get started as a technical speaker. We have a friendly and inclusive team of experienced speakers that would be more than happy to discuss talk ideas and assist with talk proposals. We strongly encourage you to get in touch with us via email on hello@kcduk.io and submit your talk ideas!

What information should you include?

Please endeavour to address some or all of the following points:

• What benefit/value does your talk bring to the Kubernetes and/or Cloud Native Ecosystem?
• What do you hope the audience will learn from your talk?
• What makes you the best person to deliver this talk? If you have a unique experience we would love to hear it!

Speaker Benefits

All speakers receive a free conference pass. We usually host a speakers dinner. All talks also get published to YouTube (please let us know if you would prefer your talk is not published).

International speakers: We're honoured that you are considering speaking at our event! Please note - we've chosen to focus our efforts on empowering local speakers, as such we will be prioritising submissions from speakers in the UK & Ireland.

Important!

By submitting a session to Kubernetes Community Days UK, you are agreeing to adhere to the Code of Conduct should your proposal be accepted.
