Dates for your diary
Building out your schedule? We've got five talks that you can't afford to miss. Check out all the details:
Building your AI factory — Monday, 09:40
If you're at AI Day, don't miss our sponsored keynote. Our AI product lead will explore how cloud-native architectures and Kubernetes-based platforms provide the foundation for building AI factories that are scalable, modular, and fully automated. We’ll break down the essential components of an AI factory and explain how they can be easily consumed in a self-service manner across different use cases, such as model deployment.

Edge AI in practice — Monday, 10:15
Let's kick off Edge Day with a bang. Our CTO Saad Malik explores what's actually happening as teams deploy and operate AI at the edge, drawing on our new State of Edge AI report. The session examines where Kubernetes-based approaches enable progress, where they introduce friction, and how architectures are evolving to support reliable, scalable AI inference beyond the datacenter. If you're working on edge AI projects, we'll surface the recurring patterns and practical considerations that will help you progress in the right direction.

Proving trust — Monday, 11:15
Stick with us at Edge Day. We're buddying up with our friends from Airbus Defense and Space to dive into the challenges of securing software supply chains in edge environments. This session presents a reproducible framework for verifiable software supply chains, combining SLSA-compliant builds, signed artefacts, and GitOps automation.

Kubernetes and AI on tractors — Thursday 13:45
Aurea Imaging plays in the fascinating agritech space, using computer vision and other AI techniques on tractors to optimize yields. In this session, they share how with the CNCF Sandbox project Kairos, Aurea Imaging built a production platform where devices boot from container images: an immutable, reproducible system running K3s and managing its lifecycle “as code.”

Packaging with Zarf — Thursday 13:45
Our man Will Crum is helping run this tutorial, teaching you how to use Zarf, an OpenSSF Sandbox Project that enables deterministic, portable software delivery. Together we’ll explore how to build a “batteries-included” application package, sign and verify its contents, and deploy it in both connected and airgapped environments.
