If your team runs Kubernetes in Japan or across Asia and is starting to host AI training or inference on it, this is the regional event where CNCF project maintainers and other end users are in the same building. The top job functions in 2026 were DevOps/SRE, developers and architects, so send the people who will operate the platform, plus whoever owns the platform roadmap. Expect to leave with direct contacts in the projects you depend on and a read on how peers in the region handle observability, security and AI workloads on Kubernetes.
