Archifridays 2026

ArchiFridays: Architecting the Future of Data & AI - Together
In a fast-paced digital world driven by the rise of Generative AI, Autonomous Agents, and Intelligent Data Platforms, stepping back to architect, structure, and secure our systems is more important than ever.

ArchiFridays were created for exactly this reason: a weekly gathering for modern tech professionals who believe that architecture is the strategic engine of innovation. It is not just about diagrams; it’s about bringing clarity, governance, and vision to cutting-edge technology implementations.

A modern format, designed by and for the community
ArchiFridays are weekly webinars held every Friday from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM (Paris time / UTC+2).
The format is intentionally open to everyone: seasoned architects, data engineers, AI builders, and tech innovators. What matters is the willingness to share knowledge, experiences, and forward-looking perspectives.
Each session is led by community experts and dives deep into specific modern technical pillars:
  • Data & AI Architecture: Designing robust foundations using Microsoft Fabric, modern data lakes, and advanced analytics.
  • The Agentic Era: Building, orchestrating, and securing Autonomous AI Agents and intelligent Copilots.
  • Cloud, Security & Governance: Implementing enterprise-grade solutions, hybrid architectures, and data governance with Microsoft Purview.
  • Methodologies & Certifications: Preparing for strategic paths like TOGAF, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, DevOps pipelines, and AI certifications.
  • Real-world Case Studies: Lessons learned from deploying complex, production-ready AI and data platforms.

Inclusive, bilingual, and supportive
ArchiFridays is flexible: sessions are held in English or French, depending on the speaker’s preference, allowing for a broader reach and diverse community exchange.
For those stepping onto the stage for the first time, we offer personalized mentoring and coaching: content structuring, slide review, and technical rehearsals. We are committed to empowering emerging voices and fostering meaningful cross-generational exchanges within the tech ecosystem.

Understand that you can not and may not be the judge of anyone else’s feelings. If you do something that offends someone, even when that is not the purpose, don’t argue. Just back down. You may or may not understand what was going on, but Stockholm SQL is not meant for you to test limits.

See, that wasn’t so hard, was it? If you feel anyone is not respecting this very simple Code of Conduct, contact one of the organisers (Magnus and Daniel) – we want to keep SQL Friday clean from abuse.

🔓 Open Access, High Standards

We are committed to keeping our meetups FREE and open to all. Top tier content should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget.

🌱 Community Mentorship

We focus on the democratized growth of speakers. We don't just accept expert speakers, we build them. Our content review process is designed to help local engineers refine their proposals into world-class presentations through constructive feedback.

🤝 Transparent & Accessible Sponsorship

We foster an open ecosystem where startups and tech giants alike can support the community. To ensure we do not price out smaller innovators or open-source vendors, financial sponsorships in support of Kubernetes Austin are strictly at-cost to cover venue and food. Furthermore, any organization that donates venue space or provides high-quality speakers is automatically recognized as an official sponsor.

🏛️ Democratized Operations, Governed Content

Kubernetes meetups should be rooted in the spirit of open source. While our Program Committee strictly governs session selection to ensure the highest quality of accepted talks, our broader organizational operations are fully democratized. Anyone in the Cloud Native community who wants to assist with event operations or source sponsors is welcome to join.


📜 Code of Conduct

Kubernetes Austin is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. As an official chapter, we strictly adhere to the CNCF Code of Conduct. We expect all organizers, speakers, sponsors, and attendees to help us create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all skill levels.

Kubernetes Austin is the official CNCF chapter serving the Central Texas technology corridor. We are a community of practitioners, ranging from Individual Contributors and Engineers to Architects and CTOs at the region’s largest engineering hubs - fo... Show more
