Attendees, registrations vs walk-ins, talk counts, partner tiers, spend per category. No spin, no rounded vibes. The page-15 table is the page-15 table.

KCD Sofia 2025 Transparency Report
Every number behind last year's event: attendees, talks, partner contributions, what we spent the money on, what worked, what we'd do differently. We publish this every year so the community can see how an open, CNCF-backed event runs.

KCD Sofia 2025 Transparency Report (v3)
Headline numbers, programme stats, finances, and what we're carrying into 2026.
Operating in the open
KCD is a CNCF-sanctioned programme. Publishing the post-mortem lets our partners, the CNCF, and the local community see exactly how the money flows.
Lessons for 2026
The last section lists what we'd do differently. If you're running a similar event in your city, it'll save you a couple of postmortems.
