Platform Engineering Day North America

Platform Engineering Day North America is an event dedicated to exploring the complexities and advanced practices associated with building and scaling Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). IDPs are instrumental in providing curated capabilities and frameworks that enhance the experiences of internal teams, particularly application developers. This event will emphasize the insights gleaned from the CNCF Platforms White Paper and the Platform Engineering Maturity Model, which demonstrate that achieving a high-impact Developer Experience (DevEx) requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond mere tools to encompass a holistic, socio-technical investment.Participants, including Platform Engineers, Product Managers, Solutions Architects, and cloud-native stakeholders, will engage in discussions sharing lessons learned from real-world experiences in constructing and managing internal platforms. The event encourages submissions that delve into case studies in platform engineering, practical strategies for measuring and maturing platform capabilities, and innovative patterns for integrating AI into platform workflows. Presentations will include a variety of formats, such as 25-minute talks with one or two speakers and 35-minute panel discussions featuring 3 to 5 speakers. The organizers emphasize the importance of diversity in speaker representation, ensuring that all-male panels are not accepted and that submissions reflect contributions from at least three different organizations. This event is a prominent feature of the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, and attendees have the option to secure an All-Access In-Person pass that grants entry to all CNCF-hosted co-located events, as well as the main KubeCon + CloudNativeCon itself.
