PlatformCon Live Day São Paulo
7 Nov 2026
Nubank Spark São Paulo, Brazil

PlatformCon, the world's largest platform engineering conference, makes its LATAM debut on November 7, 2026. Following sold-out stops in Paris, London, and New York, the World Tour brings 300 practitioners to the Nubank Spark office.
The program centers on the industry's most important shift right now, the intersection between platform engineering and AI. Talks will cover building for agentic AI, shipping AI/ML workloads, and how enterprises can successfully utilize AI agents, while staying grounded in what this actually changes for teams building and running platforms at scale.
Sessions will also explore the business and human side of the work. From securing stakeholder buy-in, driving genuine adoption, and measuring ROI, and the outcomes that matter: faster delivery, reduced cognitive load, and engineering organizations that scale without breaking.
Every session is practitioner-led, with content shaped around the AI and platform challenges facing enterprise organizations in finance, agribusiness, mining, retail, and the wider LATAM enterprise landscape.
Whether you're architecting your first platform or evolving one for thousands of engineers, PlatformCon Live Day São Paulo is where the Asia-Pacific platform engineering community meets.

What we're looking for
PlatformCon São Paulo is a 25-minute talk format, in front of 500 platform engineers from enterprise and resource-sector organizations across Brazil and the LATAM region.
We are primarily looking for thought leadership talks and enterprise case studies. Real implementations at named organizations. What you built, what broke, what you'd do differently, and what the outcomes were. The more specific, the better.
This CfP is for practitioners only. If your company is a vendor or sponsor, separate sponsorship opportunities are available. Please reach out here.
