ContainerDays & AI Context New York

We would love to welcome you to ContainerDays & AI Context New York on 16 March 2027!

​ContainerDays & AI Context New York brings together cloud-native and platform engineers, protocol builders, infrastructure engineers, and enterprise teams deploying AI systems in production.

The Submission Standard

Every session at ContainerDays & AI Context is community-vetted. We prioritize:

• Technical Depth: Sessions that show, don't just tell.
• Operational Truths: What failed, what worked, and how you fixed it.
• Actionable Insights: Knowledge that a builder can take back to their terminal the next day.

Whether you are an open-source contributor, a lead engineer at a tech-native firm, or a platform architect securing agentic workflows in a high-compliance enterprise, we want your perspective.

Help us orchestrate a collective technical future.
