Cloud Foundry Day Announced for May 14 in Palo Alto, Open Call for Proposals

Technical conference for popular developer open source technologies

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Foundry Foundation today announced Cloud Foundry Day will be held on Wednesday, May 14  in Palo Alto, California, and has opened the call for session proposals.

The one-day event is a technical conference for the Cloud Foundry community – including developers, contributors, maintainers, and end-users of the open source project – to explore the latest innovations and discuss best practices for delivering superior developer experiences at companies of all sizes.

Cloud Foundry has long been the industry-standard open source cloud application platform, and with advancements such as Korifi and Paketo Buildpacks, it continues to deliver a best-in-class developer experience on Kubernetes. Cloud Foundry Day serves as a forum for collaboration, fostering connections within the technical community and with end-users and member companies alike.

"Bringing the Cloud Foundry community together at this event is a testament to the value of face-to-face interactions in driving open source innovation," said Chris Clark, program manager for Cloud Foundry at the Linux Foundation. "Our global community's reach is vast, and this event provides a key platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration."

In addition to the Palo Alto event, Cloud Foundry announced a European Cloud Foundry Day will be held in Frankfurt, Germany on October 7, 2025.

The event's programming will be curated by the community-sourced program committee and will include keynotes, technical sessions, and networking opportunities. The call for proposals (CFP) is now open and invites submissions for technical sessions, panels, and case studies. Submissions are encouraged from individuals and organizations with expertise in Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, Paketo Buildpacks, Korifi, and related technologies. The CFP submission deadline is February 23, 2025. Accepted speakers will be notified by March 4, 2025. For more information on submission guidelines and topics, visit the event's CFP page.
