Cloud Native AI + Inference Day Europe 2027

Cloud Native AI + Inference Day Europe 2027 is a CNCF-hosted event on running AI in production on cloud native infrastructure, held March 15, 2027 in Barcelona, Spain, co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe (March 15–18). CNCF frames it around the challenges organizations face as large language models, inference and agentic systems move from development to production, alongside the growing weight of ethics in AI. Its call for proposals covers LLMs and generative AI, RAG and AI agents, end-to-end AI/ML in production (MLOps/AIOps), edge AI and specialized environments, ethics, compliance and security, user success stories and use cases, and inference. At the North America 2026 edition, CNCF's AI programming featured vLLM, KServe, Ray and OpenTelemetry, with sessions on GPU scheduling, model serving and observability for production AI systems.

• ✓MLOps and AIOps teams
• ✓Site reliability engineers
• ✓VPs of infrastructure and heads of platform
• ✓AI/ML engineers deploying LLMs
• ✓Open-source maintainers

Inference is becoming the largest recurring line in many AI budgets, and a growing share of it runs on Kubernetes. This day is where platform and ML engineers compare how they serve models at scale — GPU scheduling, model serving with open projects such as vLLM, KServe and Ray, observability and cost — through end-user case studies rather than vendor keynotes. A CTO or VP of infrastructure weighing managed inference APIs against self-hosted serving gets practitioner evidence here, plus direct access to open-source maintainers. Talk proposals close October 18, 2026.

• ✓LLMs and generative AI
• ✓RAG and AI agents
• ✓End-to-end AI/ML in production (MLOps/AIOps)
• ✓Inference
• ✓Edge AI and specialized environments
• ✓Ethics, compliance and security; user success stories and use cases

• ★Focused on inference and production AI on Kubernetes rather than model research
• ★Vendor-neutral, CNCF-hosted, with talks selected through an open CFP (closes Oct 18, 2026)
• ★A dedicated 'User Success Stories & Use Cases' CFP track for end-user evidence
• ★Co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, so one All-Access pass covers it plus the main conference

No standalone ticket: entry requires the All-Access In-Person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2027 pass, which covers every CNCF-hosted co-located event on March 15 plus the three-day main conference. The 'KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Only' pass does not include co-located events. The Linux Foundation says registration opens in October 2026; 2027 prices are not yet published.
