Our vision

Dutch Cloud Native Day

Dutch Cloud Native Days is a community driven event dedicated to bringing together cloud native enthusiasts, AI practitioners and plaform gurus from across Europe...and beyond. Our mission is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for attendees of all experience levels—whether you're just starting out or have years of expertise. We aim to foster the adoption of cloud-native technologies and provide a platform for the community to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore best practices. Above all, we believe in the power of collaboration and community to drive innovation and the future of cloud computing.

Inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of Dutch Cloud Native Day. We warmly welcome attendees from all backgrounds and identities to join us in creating an inspiring and supportive space for everyone.

A Trusted Community Event

In 2025 we relaunched the event under a new name—Dutch Cloud Native Day (DCND)—to better reflect our community-driven, vendor-neutral character. 2026 marks our second edition under that banner, and our commitment is unchanged: an open, inclusive event organized by the community, for the community, with the same format, quality, and values you’ve come to expect.

Each edition features high-quality content and speakers selected through an open CFP, and we continue to uphold our commitment to transparency with a post-event report and a strong Code of Conduct to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all.

We remain grateful to our community, sponsors, and partners for their ongoing support, and stay open to exploring future editions under the KCD banner, depending on the evolving needs and opportunities within our community.

Strengthening the Community

The event is hosted with the support of Stichting Cloud Native Netherlands, a non-profit organization that acts as a supporter and fiscal sponsor for the Dutch cloud native community.
