KCD Sofia is back - and 2026 is going to be our biggest chapter yet. In 2025, we made history. Bulgaria hosted its first-ever CNCF-backed Kubernetes Community Days, and what unfolded at Sofia Event Center was nothing short of electric. Packed rooms, world-class speakers, hands-on workshops, and a community that finally had a stage worthy of its passion. Engineers, developers, DevOps practitioners, platform builders, and tech leaders came together under one roof - and together we proved that the Bulgarian cloud native scene isn't just growing. It's thriving. What started as a small meetup in 2018 with 30 people has become a movement of more than 2,000 cloud native enthusiasts. KCD Sofia 2025 was the moment that movement stepped onto the global map. Now, on September 29, 2026, we're coming back stronger. This year, expect a program built to push the entire community forward. We're curating powerful talks from top international and local voices, deep technical sessions on platform engineering, observability, security, AI on Kubernetes, and the real-world stories that make cloud native click. We've lined up hands-on experiences, sharper workshops, and a few **surprises** we can't wait to unveil — things the Bulgarian cloud native community has never seen before at a single event. A note on capacity: KCD Sofia 2026 has a hard limit of 600 attendees. Once we're full, we're full. If 2025 taught us anything, it's that the people who showed up early were the ones who shaped the experience - so secure your spot while you can. Whether you're deep into Kubernetes in production, scaling platforms, exploring cloud native AI, or just starting your journey - KCD Sofia is where you'll learn faster, connect deeper, and walk away inspired. Sofia. September 29, 2026. The community you belong to. The conversations you don't want to miss. See you there.
