Waitlist

Be first when tickets go live

The room holds 600 people and that's the cap. Early Bird opens soon, Regular shortly after, and both have always sold out. Leave us your email and we'll write to you the day tickets are on sale.

  • One email when tickets go live. That's it.
  • Only news from KCD Sofia, nothing else slips in.
  • Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

Bot check by Cloudflare Turnstile. Submitting signs you up for one email when tickets open.

Why come

Three good reasons

The room is a mix: Kubernetes maintainers, platform engineers running clusters at scale, SREs, security folks, and the CTOs that pay for it all.

Learn from people who ship it

Talks, live demos and short workshops on Kubernetes, eBPF, GitOps and the rest of the stack. Notes you can use the morning after.

See what production looks like

Engineers from Bulgaria and beyond walk through how they actually run clusters: what broke, what they tried, what stuck.

Meet the rest of the room

Long breaks on purpose. Bring a question, leave with a name and a Slack handle from someone who has solved it.
