TL;DR
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 runs November 9-12 in Salt Lake City. There’s 30% off 20% off current pricing on Individual and Corporate passes, and it’s a special one for the techbeatly community. The code expires September 2, 2026, November 12, 2026 well before the event itself, so this is worth sorting out early if you’re planning to attend.
What’s Happening
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America is CNCF’s flagship event in the region, bringing together the Kubernetes and cloud-native community for four days of talks, project updates, and networking. The 2026 edition takes place at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, alongside CNCF-hosted co-located events.
Two pass types are available:
- All-Access Pass: covers KubeCon + CloudNativeCon plus the CNCF-hosted co-located events
- KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Only Pass: covers the main conference only, no co-located event access
The All-Access Pass covers all 11 CNCF-hosted co-located events happening on Monday, November 9: Agentics Day: MCP + Agents, ArgoCon, BackstageCon, CiliumCon, Cloud Native AI + Inference Day, FluxCon, Kubernetes on Edge Day, Observability Day, Open Source SecurityCon, OpenTofu Day, and Platform Engineering Day.
Warning
The discount code expires September 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM MDT, more than two months before the event. Register early to lock in the rate.
The discount code is valid through November 12, 2026 at 11:59 PM MST, the final day of the event. No rush, but earlier registration means you’re not scrambling closer to the dates.
