See you at KubeCon NA 2026!

Bill Doerrfeld | November 6, 2026

I'll be in Salt Lake City, November 9–12, scouting for stories on agentic AI, cloud native, APIs and more.

I'm excited to share that I'll be at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America this year! I'll be there scouting for new inspiration for stories on agentic AI, cloud native, APIs and more.


I've been to a few of these, and I always walk out with fresh inspiration and new topics to keep exploring.

I'll be working on at least a couple of feature ideas on the show floor, so if you have clients who'd like to connect, feel free to reach out with ideas.

Also, check out my Road to KubeCon series for some of the thoughts I've been working on over the last two months, covering the CNCF and Kubernetes communities. I think the focus this year is really going to be on AI inference.

See you in Salt Lake!
