Cloud Native Summit 2026 to Convene Over 400 Experts in Munich

The Cloud Native Summit (CNS) 2026 is scheduled to take place on June 29–30 in Munich, gathering more than 400 professionals from the open source, cloud native, and AI engineering communities. The conference will feature three tracks: Cloud Native & Open Source, AI Engineering, and Platform Engineering, alongside hands-on workshops and expert technical talks.

Liquid Reply, hosting the event for the fifth time, will operate a booth to showcase Sovereign AI Platforms, Platform Engineering, and Sovereign Cloud. The focus will be on demonstrating how enterprises can build and scale agent-driven AI systems within a compliant and cloud-native environment. The aim is to provide decision-makers and engineers with a concrete path to adopt Agentic AI at scale without vendor lock-in, while ensuring compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.

The summit aims to foster collaboration and innovation in cloud native and AI technologies. Attendees can expect to network with industry leaders and developers, engage in technical discussions, and gain insights into overcoming common AI adoption challenges. Presentations will cover topics such as the full stack for agent-driven AI, including multi-agent runtimes on Kubernetes, model gateways, enterprise RAG, and LLM-Ops.

Discussions will also address the role of open source in Europe's digital sovereignty. A specific session will delve into LLMOps (Large Language Model Operations), outlining why it is emerging as a distinct discipline for managing generative systems. The session will cover the necessity of dedicated LLMOps platforms for ensuring governability, performance, and sovereignty at scale for enterprise AI usage.
