2025 is right around the corner, and we’re thrilled to announce the CNCF 2025 lineup of events! Next year, we are expanding our reach and will host our first-ever KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Japan. Mark your calendars, gather your teams, and get ready for an unforgettable year of making cloud native ubiquitous! 

2025 Schedule of Events

CNCF remains dedicated to supporting and expanding emerging communities worldwide. In 2022 and 2023, CNCF hosted KubeDay events to bring cloud native to emerging communities; however, in 2025, alongside the now 5 global KubeCon + CloudNativeCon events, we’ll be shifting focus from KubeDays to Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) by investing additional resources and funding into this program and supporting its organizers. This commitment allows us to invest in community-led events on a larger scale, with an impressive 30 KCDs planned for 2025! Learn more about the KCD program and how you can be part of it in your local community.
