2027 at a glance
Why go in person
We spent 2026 on the road with PlatformCon - London, New York, Paris, São Paulo and Sydney. Every stop taught us the same thing. The talks are great, but the hallway is where platform engineering actually moves forward.
In New York, Kelsey Hightower took the main stage with ZTA: Zero Token Architecture, arguing that the fundamentals still matter and burning tokens isn't a requirement. The talk went mega viral after the event and has passed 150,000 views. John Willis and Mandi Walls joined a panel on the vulnerability apocalypse. Luca Galante and Kaspar von Grünberg opened the day, then spent the coffee break signing copies of Thinking in Platforms. In Sydney, Commonwealth Bank explained why it's investing in platform engineering for AI, and one team showed how they deploy platforms inside a live mine.
Yet when we ask attendees what they remember, they rarely start with a talk.
The roundtables. Platform Therapy puts 16 platform leaders around one table, with no slides and no pitch, to compare notes on what's broken. They fill up every time. "The round table events were by far the best," one New York attendee wrote, asking us for more of them. Another put it simply: "As a leader in this space, I am more interested in what my peers are doing to solve their challenges."
The workshops. Every Live Day runs hands-on workshops in parallel with the main stage: governance, observability, security, LLM inference pipelines, CI/CD. You bring a laptop and leave having built something. "I had a great mix of seeing a couple talks, doing a couple workshops, and talking to lots of vendors," a New York attendee told us.
The party. And then there's House of Kube, the best party in the industry. Up to 1,000 platform engineers per night, and conversations that start at a booth and finish long after the conference halls close. It's become a legend in the cloud native community; if you've been, you know.
That's the vibe we build every event around.
P.S. Platform teams now own AI agent infrastructure, FinOps, security and observability on top of everything else. Nobody has the full playbook yet. The fastest way to write it is together, in the same room. Can't wait until 2027? Every PlatformCon talk ever recorded is free on our YouTube channel. Want to learn in the meantime?
