OUR KEY THEME FOR 2026

The Sustainability of Everything

Beyond Carbon. Beyond Buzzwords. Toward a Future that Works.

The Internet’s Survival Test Has Already Started

Welcome to the new reality of Cloud infrastructure, where you’re expected to be carbon neutral, geopolitically aware, AI-optimized, financially resilient, and ethically sound—all at once.

The first step is to frame what “sustainability” really means when it’s no longer just about the environment—because sustainability now touches everything, from energy sourcing and talent retention to regulatory minefields and economic volatility.

So how do builders, operators, developers, service providers, and IT decision-makers navigate competing timelines, infinite demands, and existential pressures—without burning out like an overloaded server?

And now the fun part: nobody has a map to this new world… yet. That’s where the CloudFest community comes in.

In rising to a global challenge, we (and this “we” includes you) will explore what it really means to build a future-proof internet—not just one that’s clean and green, but one that’s fair, secure, and resilient. From energy to AI, from ethics to the Edge, together we will determine what it will take to sustain everything that matters.
