3rd Swiss Dev Confederation
October 27th, 2026 | 09:00 - 18:30 | JED Events, Schlieren
Swiss Dev Confederation 2026
Registration is now open for the third edition of the Swiss Dev Confederation!
We are bringing together developers and engineers to discuss technical implementation and architecture. No fluff - just deep dives into architecture, scaling, and shipping code that stays secure without the friction.
We are focusing on three areas:
- AI Beyond the Hype
- Platform Engineering
- Cloud Native Development
This isn't just another tech conference. It's a confederation of ideas, challenges, and solutions with inspiring talks and hands-on workshops.
Like last time, we're proud to co-host the OpenShift Community Event (OpenShift Roundtable), bringing together enterprise Kubernetes enthusiasts and practitioners to explore the ecosystem's latest developments and best practices.
