One Festival,
5 Topic Tracks
We will approach our 2026 festival theme of “The Sustainability of Everything” through five topic tracks that will run throughout the festival. This way you and your team can tackle your biggest challenges while also building deeper expertise throughout your entire technology and service stack.





TRACK 1
Cybersecurity & Compliance

Building Full-Stack Resilience and Trust
As AI rewrites the rules of attack and defense, both cybersecurity and compliance are leadership challenges as much as technical challenges—and the stakes have never been higher. Cloud providers must navigate both a more-complex threat landscape and a growing patchwork of global rules, build adaptable systems—and address both security and compliance as an opportunity, not an obstacle.
This track brings together ethical hackers, policy experts, service providers, and open source leaders to confront the reality of today’s cybersecurity landscape: trust is earned under fire, and resilience is now a shared responsibility across the entire stack.

TRACK 2
AI-Powered Cloud Solutions

Creating a Viable Future for AI
AI is made possible by the Cloud—even as it helps run the Cloud. As AI becomes foundational to the stack, the community is unpacking how these evolving—and sometimes mutating—technologies are reshaping infrastructure—from performance boosts to operational ethics—and what that means for the humans who are running the show
From hyperscale relationships to independent operators and open source platforms to private models and deployments, this track is where those who build the internet get up-to-the-minute human intelligence on AI.

Corporate IT Evolved

The Future is Always On
The enterprise development world is shifting fast. And success on both sides of the customer-provider relationship depends upon understanding the evolution of Cloud-native DevOps culture, tools, organizational structures, and soft skills—highlighting how teams build, deploy, and recover in a reshaped world.
This track is a rare meeting of the minds: it’s the main point of contact between the world of corporate IT and the world of internet infrastructure.

TRACK 4
Data Sovereignty

The Cloud is Everywhere, But Location Matters
Digital borders are hardening, and achieving data sovereignty is a complex technological and political exercise, with distinct challenges and advantages depending on your location. Learn how Cloud providers, MSPs, and those responsible for MLOps are making sure that the right data is in the right place in a rapidly-changing world. The nature of borders is shifting through economic and regulatory means; so every CSP, MSP, and IT leader must start considering “Independence as a Service”.
This track is where practical and forward-thinking service providers and digital transformation specialists will build a winning strategy and start executing it.

TRACK 5
Finding the Future

Building Tomorrow’s Internet
The internet is evolving before our eyes, shaped by geopolitical upheaval, agentic AI, and new models of trust. It’s time for thought leadership that actually leads us somewhere: where strategy meets sustainability, and principles meet performance. Dig into how you’ll stay relevant and re-earn your place in a world of smart assistants, ambient interfaces, and evolving trust signals.
This track is where Cloud leaders step back from day-to-day operations and talk about what really matters: how to build systems that last, scale responsibly, and serve real human and business needs. Expect sharp thinking, long-term vision, and unapologetically opinionated perspectives on what’s next—and what’s worth building.
