Call for Speakers

Become a speaker.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cloud Native Summit is built on the talks of practitioners who ship in production every day — platform engineers, SREs, security folks, ML and data engineers, and the people shaping the open source ecosystem around Kubernetes and beyond.

We're looking for honest stories: what worked, what broke, what you wish you'd known six months earlier. Whether it's your first ever talk or your hundredth keynote, our reviewers and mentors will help you bring the best version of your idea to the stage in Melbourne and Paris.

Tracks include cloud native infrastructure, platform engineering, observability, security & supply chain, AI on Kubernetes, and developer experience. Final CFP details, deadlines and review criteria will be published shortly — this copy will be replaced with the official speaker brief.

Final CFP brief and timeline coming soon.

What we love

  • Production stories with scars and screenshots
  • First-time speakers from under-represented backgrounds
  • Live demos that don’t need a perfect demo god
  • Honest retrospectives on tech that didn’t pan out
