CFP Ops Console — DevOps / Platform / Cloud-Native
Five boards open. One closes tonight.
Deadline-sorted, severity-coloured. Verified against the live CFP page on 20 September 2026 — nothing here is a cached guess.
CfgMgmtCamp 2027
1–3 Feb 2027 · Ghent, Belgium
IaC/config-management focus overlaps CI/CD and homelab self-hosting work directly. Formats: Ignite (5min), 25/45min talks, workshops/fringe (day 3).
⚠ Organizers hint the deadline "will probably be extended a bit" — unconfirmed, treat tonight's cutoff as real [2].
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2027
15–18 Mar 2027 · Barcelona, Spain
Flagship, very competitive, K8s-internals-heavy main track. An AI-in-delivery or DevEx talk can work but competes hard against Kubernetes specialists — the co-located days below fit better.
ArgoCon Europe 2027
GitOps/CD is squarely CI/CD territory — frame around delivery-pipeline concepts, not Argo/K8s cluster internals.
Platform Engineering Day 2027
Platform-as-a-product and DevEx are named strengths — a Coolify-style self-hosted PaaS / per-PR preview-deploy talk lands directly on-topic.
Observability Day 2027
Self-hosted monitoring/homelab observability angle fits; steer away from deep Prometheus/OTel internals given current K8s learning-stage.
All three co-located pages state "18 October 2026" with no time or timezone published — treated here as 23:59 CEST by analogy with the main KubeCon deadline, unconfirmed. Submit early rather than trust the assumption.
11 conferences ruled out — CFP already closed or no European edition
4 conferences on watch — CFP not open yet
- PlatformCon runs rolling city-by-city "Live Day" CFPs rather than one European call — only Paris was found for 2026/2027; check its CFP hub periodically since these open with short lead times.
- DevOpsDays covers dozens of European cities — this board tracks confirmed 2026 dates plus the earliest-announced 2027 editions (Zurich, Geneva); smaller not-yet-listed 2027 additions weren't checked individually.
- No GitHub-hosted projects were cited for this topic area, so no star counts apply.
